50 explained that he’s aiming to have his solo album out by October. That would mean a nonstop caravan of G-Unit releases between now and then: Lloyd Banks, Young Buck and new G-Unit member Game are all scheduled to have solo albums out by the end of summer.

“I wanted to come out on the Fourth of July, so I went in and made some records,” 50 said on Friday. “And then I went back to listen to Get Rich or Die Tryin’. I said, ‘I have to top this [album] in my head. I have to make a lot more records in preparation for [a new LP] than I had for Get Rich.’ ”

50 noted that he’s not the only one feeling pressure. “There’s pressure on [Dr.] Dre, also,” he said. “He has to produce a better record for me than ‘In Da Club.’

“In three days, I could make a record, 12 songs,” 50 boasted. “But I have to make an album that tops what my last album was, so it’ll take a lot longer.”
