Kid Cudi, Chip Tha Ripper - DON'T WORRY lyrics

Kid Cudi and Chip Tha Ripper dropped the track "Don't Worry," and it... brings a real sense of nostalgia, taking us back to that very sound that we, the fans, fell in love with at the start of Cudi's career. The music video itself becomes an essential aspect of the whole experience. The visuals create a 2000s atmosphere, when the rapper was just starting to gain popularity. Seeing him so happy and carefree is a real joy, especially since we've been waiting for something like this from him for a long time. The track itself is filled with energy and positivity. You can clearly hear that it's a return to the good old days, to the "Man on the Moon" era, but with a touch of modern vibes. The signature "hmmmm"... and Cudi is winning hearts again, instantly recognizable and familiar to everyone who's been with him since his first tracks; this ad-lib has become something of an artist's trademark.

We shouldn't overlook the contribution of Chip Tha Ripper, who returned to Cudi with the same strength as before. Their duo feels like a reunion of old friends who haven’t performed together in a long time. It seems that time hasn’t touched their collaborations, and each of them brings something unique but seamlessly fits into the overall musical picture. The track feels light, as if both artists are simply enjoying the process of creating music, and that feeling transfers to the listener.

The video deserves a special mention. The visual style evokes the good old days, but with a touch of modern spirit, creating a balance between the past and the present. The video's aesthetic adds a layer of nostalgia while remaining relevant for today. The locations include a gallery, a recording studio, as well as rooftops and streets of New York. The video is dedicated to New York itself. It opens with the disclaimer: "I moved to New York in 2004. Over the years, the city became my second home. People of New York, this is my love letter to you. Thank you for becoming my family." Kid Cudi also directed the video.

Watching all of this, we’re thrilled — and we’re not the only ones! Some are reminded of their school days when they first listened to Cudi; others say that this music helped them get through tough times. It’s clear that the artist’s work continues to inspire people and even save them, as mentioned in numerous reviews. However, not all opinions are unanimous. Some note that the track sounds like an attempt to recreate past success without bringing anything new to the sound. These critics believe Kid Cudi should move forward and explore new directions, like with "Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven." Nevertheless, most fans are excited about the return of the classic Cudi.
