Animal Ambition was the first new album from 50 Cent in almost five years, and despite lukewarm sales the entreprenuerial artist isn't sweating any negative feedback. "For the record sales, I know I can't have the success I've had in the past, it's impossible," 50 Cent admitted to the Hot Morning Crew. "This is the warm-up. I'm coming in September [with] my album Street King Immortal.. I put this record out to cut through the cloud of my audience's [perception] of my success. Some people are not conditioned or prepared for success and it's an adjustment. If you leave the environment thinking the exact same way you were in the environment, chances are you won't be successful. You have to make some adjustments as you go, acquiring new information. Being exposed to different situations is what allowed me to continue to do it. But if you don't do it, you forget about it."

This willingness to adapt is something that guided 50 Cent away from his record deal with Interscope, as well as the reunion of G-Unit this year. But the other half of the equation, in addition to adjusting to your environment, is to not second guess the decisions you've made, which is why Fif states he has no real regrets in the business. "I stopped giving them [Interscope Records] my music, because I see how it's actually being treated within their system," he explained. "It changed because Interscope Records shifted and turned into Beats records, while I'm selling SMS Audio. Every artist they put full support behind was somebody who already committed to Beats and was going to be utilized for marketing purposes."

For his part, 50 Cent holds no ill will against Beats or Interscope, and he's happy for the success of Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre with their recent lucrative sale of Beats by Dre to Apple (more on that later this week). Even if the split had been on bad terms, 50 Cent isn't slowing down enough to harbor a grudge. In addition to his two solo albums dropping in 2014, Fif and his crew made waves when G-Unit regrouped, causing a stir of excitement and controversy after the dust-up with Slowbucks on stage at Hot 97′s Summer Jam.

The rapper believes the fight, which may have since sparked a lawsuit, isn't something that should extend to his entire crew, and he places the blame back on the ones directly involved. "They were asking questions, because [Tony Yayo] had done something, when he was starting to say things in response to him having to be responsible for himself, for me not just fixing the problem by saying 'Here's money, just go ahead and take that.' I did that a lot, I enabled them in those way, and now when you see it and you say how do I correct it? If I could allow Yay to say the things that he said, and bring him around, I'd bring Buck around before I did that, because I know Buck. I know he's impulsive� and he's high at the same time, he's running around like the real definition of a rock star. I think it was easier to bring Buck than to accept the things I got from Yay, because he was so close that he should actually know better. Banks, he doesn't do anything wrong, he just stops. There's points when you come in you don't know if he likes you or not."
