Nah, it isn't. That doesn't even make sense. 6/13/2017 5:50:22 AM

Yah, it definitely is. When you "riddle to" someone, you talk to them. Just like when you hear the phrase "riddle me this" it means "answer me this" 6/13/2017 1:37:08 PM

No, that's fucking stupid. They riddled two middlemen. As in riddled with holes. As in shot them. Come the fuck on. Jesus Christ. 6/13/2017 3:10:46 PM

Okay, never mind that those words sound the same. Never mind that "riddled to" isn't a fucking real thing that anyone in life has ever said that ever meant anything at all. The opening verse is about shooting some Italians. This couldn't be clearer. Stop catching flies. 6/14/2017 6:10:23 AM

"To" and "Two" can sound identical if they're pronounced "TOO." However, "To" is often pronounced "TUH", just like THE is often pronounced "THUH," as in "I'm going TUH THUH store"
The number two is never pronounced "tuh." If you hear "One tuh three" it means 1-3, not 1, 2, 3.
Pun OBVIOUSLY says either "to" or "some", something with the short 'U' sound. His fat ass PR lisp makes it tough to distinguish if the initial consonant sound is T or S (Terror Squad omg conspiracy), but it's definitely a short U sound, which nobody ever uses for the number 2. 6/15/2017 2:12:05 PM

it's definitely "some"
if it wasn't though, "two" would make sense but not "to"

Even Vibe knew what was up: https://books.google.com/books?id=rSYEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA85&lpg=PA85&dq=%22riddled+two+middlemen%22&source=bl&ots=UfJgd7AHH_&sig=A8zuVu_2JeD_l5yvfOW6-90aVwY&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjz6unLwMDUAhXDOj4KHSmIDUQQ6AEITTAI#v=onepage&q=%22riddled%20two%20middlemen%22&f=false
You wouldn't throw a sibilant like "some" into a line like that. The whole line is full of stops. "Two" is a stop. And again, the audio is very clear. 6/15/2017 2:48:58 PM

I have referred this matter to some trusted advisers whom I like better than y'all's asses. Though the delivery of the line is clear in my opinion, controlled review has yielded enough difference in the perception of the line in question that I am willing to accept that it's more ambiguous than I had judged.
In addition, "some middleman" does in fact make more narrative sense than "two middlemen" despite the superior meter of the latter. That much I will admit. 6/15/2017 3:29:41 PM
