Show All-
Pitchfork
Album finds him ditching the unrepentant gangsta rap misanthropy
-
Hot New Hip Hop
Unfortunately, a lot has changed in hip-hop since 50’s debut.

Rolling Stone
At their best, they can even recall his time as a mixtape hustler with a world to conquer and nothing to lose.

The Boom Box
No one cares about 50 Cent the solo artist anymore, and nothing on 'Animal Ambition' gives anybody any reason to.

XXL Mag
With Animal Ambition, he shows he's ready to put in the work.

Right now, he offers nothing more than vapidity.

Yet another wild pitch.

If Animal Ambition is any indication of the direction he’s headed, it wouldn’t be a good idea to hold your breath.

NY Daily News
His rich instrument undulates over the minimalist riffs, there's magic worth waiting for.

Digital Spy
It's mostly just 50-being-the-same-old-50.

Proves to be a ‘lukewarm’ 50 Cent LP at best

Basically, the snarling lion has no real bite.

The 11-track set is not a total disappointment.

Hip Hop Speakeasy
If you’re cup of tea is hearing a rapper say the same thing for many, many verses ......

JP Lime Magazine
A version of 50 Cent that is not re-invented but rather renewed in its confidence, filthy rich but still a gangster
-
Juice
Nevertheless, as a better mixtape "Animal Ambition" always goes through.

I’m not sure I’ll recommend this to my friends.

Underwhelming effort by rap superstar

Verdict: Gangster rapper's money tree wilts a little

‘Animal Ambition’ is pretty dope.

Sounds like Curtis Jackson was frozen in 2005 and only woke up today.
-

There's certainly an "animal" that rears its ugly head every now and again.
-
All Hip Hop
Hate it or love it, the underdog’s on his way back to the top.
-
Hip Hop de Magazine
50 refrains from jumping on the trap-train, remains true to its roots and thus makes the absolutely right decision.
-
Daily Cheifers
G-Unit’s comeback will need much more care if it’s to be reality.
-
What Went Wrong With
Although, with this Mickey Mouse album, he’s more of a Disney animal. 50’s Spent.
-
Brobible
In his classic collection, and one that I would rate a 6/10 because I’m nice.
-
Weekend Sunstar
He often shows rust on his fifth studio offering, but the 11-track set is not a total disappointment.
-
Nappy Afro
The bright side of things is that there are glimpses on this album of 50 Cent being the best 50 Cent.

Adra-matic
The instruments are bland, the texts are phony, the themes meet all the time.

Ms Star News
Quite simply, 'Animal Ambition' is a must have album.
-

Animal Ambition isn’t a very good album, but it isn’t a total abomination either.

Rap 2 Soul
A good rap album.
-

However, he would do well to refocus his brand if he wants to create music that rivals that of his golden era.

LA Times
Yet another wild pitch.

Track after track, “Animal Ambition” begs the question—has Fiddy still got it?
