    Its not the same 50 than before, new music styles, a few bad lyrics and also not to much good chorus, 50 is a great rapper, all albums are very good, the massacre, grodt, but this.. not so good

    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 He is outdated and his music is predictable and without distinction anymore.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.

    I do not know why I ever let myself believe this one would turn out alright. When I first heard tracks like “Hold On” and “The Funeral” (on the deluxe edition of this one), I was hopeful. Neither were phenomenal tracks, but they were definitely some of the best tracks from 50 in years. Tracks like “Irregular Heartbeat” and “Everytime I Come Around” also work really well and only serve toI do not know why I ever let myself believe this one would turn out alright.

Tracks like “Irregular Heartbeat” and “Everytime I Come Around” also work really well and only serve to make the lows here all the more disappointing. Unfortunately, even those “highs” are not really all that high, rather they are just pretty good and are acceptable tracks. Meanwhile, tracks such as “Don’t Worry Bout It”, “Hustler”, and “Smoke”, are clear lows here and really underscore my disappointment. Now, as a whole, the album is not bad I guess, but it certainly does not make me hyped for Street King Immortal like 50 Cent is hoping it will. Rather, it makes me even more skeptical about his ability to deliver a quality record in 2014.… Expand

    These few highlights could make the 39-minute listen justifiable, but you wouldn’t be missing much by skipping Animal Ambition completely. Although fun, none of these songs are up with the best of 50’s career.

    Despite being billed as his fifth album, it's nowhere near the level of his strong, yet largely overrated debut "Get Rich or Die Tryin'".

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