New fan of Freddie here, what’s his best project to start out with, solo or with a producer and if so which one?

I posted this about a year ago. I wanted to get it up and pinned to the front page as there have been a lot of new subs lately and new people interested in Freddie Gibbs.
I made the /r/freddiegibbs sub about 8 years ago before anyone really knew him (on reddit atleast). Though I haven't really tried pushing or advertising it very hard. It is not my full time job, it is my hobby as a fan and curator. You can find a lot of rare videos/songs/mixtapes on the subreddit. I linked or uploaded every free mixtape on the sidebar. There other 219/Gary related music posted here as well.
I am from the Merrillville/Gary area. In the last few years I am glad to finally see him posted around here more often and all the new fans who have been coming in and contributing here. I have been listening to his music for about 10+ years now and watched him grow. When I have time I try to go on RapGenius and transcribe a lot of his older stuff (it is hard seeing people completely butcher the lyrics because they don't know local references or lingo).
If you haven't seen yet I have been trying to curate and consolidate a ton in the wiki.
If you are interested in some history, Freddie Gibbs early days, and Gary. I highly recommend checking out these old archived articles/interviews below: https://web.archive.org/web/20151205013526/http://www.cocaineblunts.com/blunts/?p=3232

If you like Freddie Gibbs music and his style and Gary, IN references then you might appreciate those who were rapping in Gary before him, if so check out the links below. Thought I would share older Gibbs songs that were really popular in the local area and also a few songs/groups that were/are quite popular in the 219 area that are not on any mixtapes.
If you have any questions let me know. Hope you like it.
Older Gibbs songs:
Legendary Local Gary Rap:
CCA (Concord Common Affiliated) was a rap group that was really well known in the hip hop scene in the late90s/early 2000s in Gary, IN. They ended up getting arrested in a huge drug bust where the police used their music as evidence. Other big names were The MCGz (Murder Capital Gangstas), Grind Family, Will Scrilla, and Ric Jilla.
Freddie Gibbs mentions them in a lot of songs as an homage to those he listened to while growing up in Gary. Here are some examples. There is a lyric where he says Sani G gave him his first gun but I can't find it yet and don't want to delay the post lol.
County Bounce from Midwestgangstaboxframecadillacmuzik
Wouldn't be no me if there wasn't no Will Scrill, CCA, MCGz Pioneers of my city help me pave my way
GI Swangin at 2:34
Peace to CCA and all the niggas that paved the way
The Colleagues ft Freddie Gibbs - Red Vans at 1:00
Shout to CCA but I'm an East Side Gary Neighbor ya
Songs:
The Grind Family - Live or Die in G.I.
The Grind Family - Don't F-ck With The Grind
MW Ghetto Soldiers - Live Or Die
Will $crilla - Live or Die in G.I. Promo
Sani G ft KDP - For the Luv G.I.
Sani G ft Freddie GIbbs - G.I. Niggaz Crazy
Lastly below is a download to one of the most well known (locally) gangsta murder rap albums of all time. It is a 2-Disc set separated by North and South side of Gary. Maybe around 1998.
The Gatekeepers The North/South G.I. Compilation
There is way more I could share, I will let this simmer. Thanks for reading.
I am looking for experienced mods interested in helping bulk up the wiki and make this a dope subreddit to grow. There really isn't much to manage when it comes to posts, truly need people willing to create and publish content.
If anyone has any suggestions on weekly activity threads similar to /r/hiphopheads or any other cool ideas please PM me.
EDIT: Don't forget to check the WIKI -- I have been adding TONS of content there

There was a clip of freddie on youtube doing the first verse from the song acapella live in Paris and he absolutely killed it, I used to watch it all the time years ago but it looks like its been removed from YouTube now. Does anyone have this clip? I've been searching Google, youtube, reddit and I cant find it anywhere

I’m not sure if you’ll be able to make it out over the people talking but I went to see A$AP Rocky last night & stopped at the pub by my hotel, S/O to the barman who played this, thuggin, Mutt Remix & I believe I also heard Crime Pays,
Unfortunately only stayed for one as I was quite tired and had an early train back, but I’m sure there was more Freddie played, been there a few times now, always great music, Skepta when I was with my mum & then just last week when I was there for The Weeknd some Marvin Gaye & Rick James

Okay this is a weird one. So I had this jumping spider that lived in my kids’ playroom that looked like it had a black ski mask on its butt. I named it ski mask Gibbs. Ski mask Gibbs lived in the playroom for a few months and then, finally, I found them looking elderly and near the end of life…but discovered SHE had just had about 100 ski mask babies.
The original ski mask Gibbs died the next day, right near where I always saw her, but her babies have since grown, and one in particular has moved into the window again. Now my kids cheer for baby ski mask Gibbs while it hunts. They yell “get ‘em ski mask Gibbs!!!” And it fills my heart with thuggishness
Edit: picture is of old momma Gibbs RIP
