4.1 excellentErwann S. STAFF | July 17th 19

French band with punk, rap and 'chanson francaise' influences. Their lyrics mingle a lot of social commentaries and silly/absurd sentences, which makes them stand out both lyrically and musically. Plus they created their own universe and lore, and display it throughout their albums. Stupeflip Vite! was a blast in 2012: it's the best track to discover the band, but the run from track 1 to track 6 might be the best way to define Stupeflip: a band that listened to Bashung, Lio, Booba and les Berurier Noir. So fucking French. The main problem with Stupeflip is how people actually perceive them: even though they clearly have a punk attitude and a so-evident love for chanson francaise, they are labelled as rap. This leads narrow-minded French metalheads to pull out stupid shit such as "I don't listen to rap, but I like Stupeflip, it's not as dumb as these other rich, egoist and deadening motherfuckers like Booba", and narrow-minded rapheads to pull out stupid shit such as "Stupeflip is rap 101 for dumbasses who don't understand shit about the culture". Neither of these two groups is right, simply because Stupeflip ain't rap. They sure have a rap phrasing on some songs, but it's just a band that put all their influences in a blender and it happens that one of these influences is rap.
