The lyrics, finished, between fierce assonance and provocative slogans ("we say that kneading is shaping, I say that breaking is destroying") are sometimes rapped, often bawled, sometimes sung. Stupeflip is only the tip of the iceberg of the C.R.O.U. Through their songs, they present the mythical history of the C.R.O.U., a mysterious organization founded in 1972, made up of 3 members, and here to "terrorize the population and thereby create a new era", "the era of Stup". The album, very much like the first EP, contains an uncategorizable sound: a mixture of angry guitar riffs akin to Bérurier noir (Stupeflip also emulates their masks), samples of Hip Hop, Californian punk, pop jingles (inspired by French 80's pop), and strange noises (Stupeflip was often compared to The Residents, an ambient experimental band). Eventually they sign on Vorston Limanteli, an independent label bought some months later by BMG and, at the end of 2002, they release their first album: Stupeflip. The funny and effective title "Je fume pu d'shit" starts to air on Parisian radios. This first release notably includes the overt "Stupeflip", and "comme les zot" seven titles in all, where King Ju pens texts and music with the help of Cadillac. On the 6th of November 2001, they subsequently go to a studio in order to transform the mixtape into a promotional Single that will already contain the essence of the group.

In 2000, a strange name -Stupeflip- is doing the rounds in Paris on a peculiar mixtape.

The crowdfunding campaign was a huge success, with the original stretch goal of 40 000€ being raised in just two hours. For their fourth album, Stup Virus, Stupeflip began soliciting financial support on the crowdfunding platform Ulule. After a hiatus, the band then began auto-producing themselves, releasing The Hypnoflip Invasion in 2011. After having released their two first albums on BMG, the label decided to stop their contract in 2006 after the poor sales of Stup Religion. The band rose to fame with its single "Je Fume Pu D'Shit" in 2003. These characters and the band itself are part of an elaborate fictional universe featuring mysterious concepts such as "L'Ère du Stup" ("The Stup Era"), "La Menuiserie" ("The Carpentry"), "Le Mystère au chocolat" ("The Chocolate Mystery"), etc. Stupeflip members are known by their stage personas: Julien Barthélémy as King Ju and Pop Hip, Stéphane Bellenger as Cadillac and Jean-Paul Michel as MC Saló. Their style can be described as a mix of hip hop, punk rock and synthpop. Stupeflip ( French: ) is a French hip hop band formed in 2000, composed of Julien Barthélémy, Stéphane Bellenger and Jean-Paul Michel.
