    The second pronunciation, Ah-Melle Larry-yuh, would be the correct one,
    Elson. At least it's the way we Quebecers would pronounce it in french.

        Oh by the way, I picked up the new Common record after reading all the
    hype on the list, and I gotta say, it's pretty good. Nothing groundbreaking
    happening here, but a strong record nonetheless. Blackalicious' N/A is
    still a far stronger hiphop record as far as I'm concerned though, far more
    more original and unwilling to dig up all the rap/hiphop stereotypes, which
    I find Common does a little too much for my liking. I lost count of how
    many "YO YO"s and "Nigga"s I heard on his disc. Oh well, it's still
    stronger than most of the shiite being pumped out these days....
