Worldwide, The Last Don: Live [CD & DVD] sold over one million copies, according to the official website. His debut single, "Dale Don Dale", sold over 100,000 copies in South America. He received the awards for "Latin Pop Album of the Year" and "New Artist & Latin Rap/Hip-Hop Album of the Year" by the Billboard Latin Music Awards in 2003. The Last Don: Live [CD & DVD] was also nominated for "Urban Music Album" at the 2005 Latin Grammy Awards
He started his career after facing many obstacles when Héctor Delgado (from the duo Héctor y Tito) gave him an opportunity to be a backup singer. After that, he sang in a live concert with Héctor and Tito in 2003, which was released later as a CD and DVD, which included the songs that became instant hits, Baila Morena and Amor de Colegio.
In 2005, Don Omar released the reggaeton album "Da Hitman Presents Reggaeton Latino", which broke the record for "Highest First Week Sales for a Reggaeton Album" by selling over 31,000 units in its first week, resulting a debut of #61 in The Billboard 200. Wisin y Yandel held that record until "Reggaeton Latino" was released.
The first single released from Reggaeton Latino, "Dale Don Dale [Remix]" , which features rapper Fabolous, debuted at #1 on the crossover chart.
He is currently signed to VI Music through Universal Music Latino.
In early 2006, the Governor of Puerto Rico, Aníbal Acevedo Vilá publicly mentioned interest in having Don Omar participate in a program against School Desertion. However, the Secretary of Education has rejected Don Omar sponsoring it due to his lyrics. The local press has also mentioned that Omar himself did not finish High School.
Currently has his own record label "El Orfanato" (The Orphanage) and had a magnificent performance in the 2011 Latin Music Billboard Awards where he received the Award for Latin Rythm Airplay.

Nativo music
Más negro que la noche
Don Don
King of kings
Chuli como te sientes
"Suelta como gabete"
Vamo pa' arriba como cohete
Ma' que tu quieres
"Que el negrito me de fuerte"
Pues entonces dale que nos fuimos algarete
Ponte de espalda
Súbete la falda
Agárrate duro
Que vas pa' lo oscuro
Perréalo salvaje
Yo me posteé al muro
Ma' tu quieres un beso
"Don pues claro"
Gata no me ronques
Gato tumba el fronte
No amarres fuego
Que Mami yo no juego
Lo de nosotros es pa' esta noche
Te veo luego
Pa' que me enseñes de nuevo
Lo que me dejo ciego
Vamo' sincero
Tú me llevas yo te llevo
Sin fantasmeo
Tú le llegas yo le llego
A la real que no quiero noveleo
Un par de besos
Y si pichea yo picheo
Ella bailando es una bomba
Deja que se rompa
le hago a su pompa
Si hace calor abrele la pompa
Bomba
Deja que se rompa

Si hace calor abrele la pompa
Ella bailando es una bomba

Al ritmo ardiente
A tu gato que se calme
O le formo un jelengue
Un corre y corre a lo delincuente
Nena que caliente ese traje se siente
Tú crees que aguante mi sistema sin que reviente
Dile a tu gato que ande consciente
Que si se pone chulo se traga los dientes
Ella bailando es una bomba
Deja que se rompa
le hago a su pompa
Si hace calor abrele la pompa

The song "Bomba" by Don Omar is a high-energy dance track that encourages listeners to let loose and have fun on the dance floor. The lyrics are full of sexual innuendo and playful flirtation, as the singer urges his partner to let go and enjoy the moment. The repeated refrain "Ella bailando es una bomba" (She's a bomb when she dances) reinforces this idea of explosive energy and excitement.
Don Omar's use of slang and Dominican Spanish adds to the song's playful tone and helps to create a sense of cultural authenticity. Lines like "suelta como gabete" (loose like a ferret) and "muérdete los bembes" (bite your lips) are colloquial expressions that may be unfamiliar to non-Spanish speakers, but they add to the overall vibe of the song.
Overall, "Bomba" is a song that celebrates the joy and pleasure of dancing and being in the moment. Its lively rhythms and catchy lyrics make it a favorite among fans of reggaeton music.

Or I'll give him a hard time
Un corre y corre a lo delincuente
A run and run like a criminal
Nena que caliente ese traje se siente
Girl, that outfit makes you feel hot
Tú crees que aguante mi sistema sin que reviente
Do you think my system can handle it without blowing up
Dile a tu gato que ande consciente
Tell your boy to be aware
Que si se pone chulo se traga los dientes
That if he acts tough, he'll get his teeth knocked out
