Nah, it isn't. That doesn't even make sense.

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"

No, that's fucking stupid. They riddled two middlemen. As in riddled with holes. As in shot them. Come the fuck on. Jesus Christ.

I'm embarrassed for you right now. How many years you gone around thinking that stupid shit? Have you told anybody else? Jesus.

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.

Ready for war Joe, how you wanna blow they spot
I know these dirty cops that'll get us in if we murder some wop
Hop in your Hummer, the Punisher's ready; meet me at Vito's
with Noodles, we'll do this dude while he's slurping spaghetti
Everybody kiss the fucking floor, Joey Crack, buck em all
If they move, Noodles shoot that fucking whore
Dead in the middle of Little Italy little did we know
that we riddled some middleman who didn't do diddily

Again, I invite your mark ass--and indeed, any and all mark asses--to actually listen to the track in question.

"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.

it's definitely "some"

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

At any given moment in this modern world, you are merely seconds away from listening to the song and hearing it for yourself.

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.

I would invite you to watch the music video and read his fucking lips. This is not hard.

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.
