The album is a welcomed return for 50, who sounds like his hiatus didn’t affect his ability to create his signature street records.

Animal Ambition showcases a very creatively confused 50 Cent, trapped in some sort of musical purgatory we can only hope he find his way out of.

[50 Cent is un]likely to recapture the notoriety and relevance he had at his peak. He can, however, continue to offer vicarious thrills via the sinister-slick production of glock fantasy Hold On and the creeping dread of Everytime I Come Around.

While simple pleasures are about all Animal Ambition can offer, it at least presents them with listenable panache.

It’s pointedly brief--11 songs, 39 minutes and with a scope every bit as limited.

Unchanged are his limitations as a rapper, both technically and in his choice of subjects.

He's trying to remind you that he's still tough, though these lines mostly just conjure images of Travis Bickle in the mirror: a guy alone and clueless, snarling at imagined enemies that can't talk back.

50 Cent has finally addressed a topic in which his fans and people around him will unfortunately not understand. I like this album. 50 shows50 Cent has finally addressed a topic in which his fans and people around him will unfortunately not understand. I like this album. 50 shows perspective from different views. On Hold On and Chase the Paper, he speaks on people he knows that are blinded by money and feel entitled to not be affected by the consequences of having a lot of it. On Pilot, he flaunts his confidence because in our society being cocky is frown upon. He acknowledges where he comes from on Twisted, and makes a big effort to tell young ones from there that they have small chances, but he can be their hope. On Winner's Circle, he gives a simple tutorial on how if you want to win, you need to be prepared for others to not want you. The weakest record on here is the title track and even that record speaks to the idea behind the project. He basically gives the audience a recap of what he has done and how anyone's doubts won't get in the way.… Expand

It's different from what 50 have done earlier, but the album also got those songs with the little more 'gangsta' vibe to it like "Hold On" andIt's different from what 50 have done earlier, but the album also got those songs with the little more 'gangsta' vibe to it like "Hold On" and "Irregular Heartbeat" alongside with "Chase the Paper".

It starts with the cold and hard-hitting Hold On, and follows with the catchy club banger Don't Worry Bout It (ft. Yo Gotti). Pilot features an uptempo beat and 50 spitting a catchy hook which turns out great. Smoke (ft. Trey Songz) sounds like a hit and makes you wanna party each time you hear it. This album is well balanced and entertaining. Club Hits like: Don't Worry Bout It, Pilot, Smoke. And Street Hard Hitters Like: Hold On, Everytime I Come Around, Irregular Heartbeat, Chase The Paper, Funeral, and Flip ON You. Amazing album and its just a PREVIEW to his big album STREET KING IMMORTAL… Expand

It is great to have 50 back after all these years, he is still keeping up with his signature street sound, but he doesn't seem to have anyIt is great to have 50 back after all these years, he is still keeping up with his signature street sound, but he doesn't seem to have any direction on the album, he often looks a little bit lost. The few bizarre and off songs are saved by some awesome and 2000's 50 flow songs like Hold on who makes us see 50 can still retrieve his raw style we all came to love.… Expand

Untamed desire to win! LOL! 50 cent has an untamed desire to win? he hasn't "won" anything since 2007! Not a gold or platinum hit since then.Untamed desire to win! LOL! 50 cent has an untamed desire to win? he hasn't "won" anything since 2007! Not a gold or platinum hit since then. He is outdated and his music is predictable and without distinction anymore. That said, i like some of the sh*t on this album, but certainly not all. But I wouldn't buy it but I gave it a listen.… Expand
