Despite claims to the contrary, most rappers don't retire; "final" albums are more marketing ploy than graceful bow. Inevitably, as in the case of also-"retired" Too $hort, the artist resurfaces, either not content with the easy life on the other side of the mic or, more likely, still desirous of the guaranteed platinum sales a few generic songs can produce. Master P, in his alleged swan song, gives us all that and more, producing a double-length album that is perhaps the paradigmatic LP of the No Limit sound, replete with the oft-resuscitated tropes of gangsta rap and delivered over the slick formulas of the Beats by the Pound team. --Jon Caramanica

Spin

...[B]eyond a Tupac-influenced timbre and semi-autobiographical tales of ghetto life and business struggles, P doesn't have much to offer as a stylist or lyricist.

2.0 out of 5 stars Master P - MP Da Last Don, June 23, 2004

This review is from: Mp Da Last Don (Audio CD)

This was supposed to be P's last album and I wish it was. There were a lot of problems with this album: (1) a double album, which was the style of 1998, with only two good songs on it ("Hot Boys & Girls", "Solders, Riders & G's"), (2) No Limit Records were putting out albums faster than Mickey D's serves burgers and with the usual guest stars on this album (virtually the whole No Limit roster) on every single song, you couldn't tell the difference between this album and, say, a Skull Duggery album. (3) is that Master P was starting to sound too much like 2Pac (like most rappers around that time). For Master P's good stuff, check out Ghetto D, 99 Ways to Die, Ice Cream Man or TRU's True or Tru to Da Game.

1.0 out of 5 stars Straight Garbage., October 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mp Da Last Don (Audio CD)

For every step forward an East Coat lyricist takes, a dirty South rapper takes four steps back. Master P's "Da Last Don" tries its hardest to keep listeners trapped in a musical Dark Age, devoid of creativity and intelligence. This album's productions sounds like it was concocted by a tone deaf accountant on a contact high. The lyrics are pointless at best, an abomination at worst.

As a rule, I like to steer clear of CDs with jewel-encrusted label logos or with the words "Cash Money" or "No Limit" printed anywhere on them. I suggest you do the same.

1.0 out of 5 stars P is in it for the fuccin money, August 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mp Da Last Don (Audio CD)

He puts out new cd's and videos just to boost his image, this CD is garbage, and it's worthless. The whole rap world is blind to the fact that P just wants everyone's money he even said on one of his old songs "that's why you don't see P on MTV" and look were he is now. He's a fuccin sell out. If you want real music get 2pac and Brotha Lynch Hung, the siccest muthafuccaz makin the music.
