The band chain-plays chaotic concerts during which they used to insult the public (this approach, which was employed to stand out from the rest of the French music scene, is not meant to continue, according to King Ju, although this statement varies depending on the source. Stupeflip nests its atypical place within a nice-ish French scene, and creates a lot of noise, fueled by self-parody and nonsense, in major media promotions (MCM, Oui FM, Thierry Ardisson). There are two titles with the atypical Mangu, rapper of Dominican origin.

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.
