Background
After the release of his fourth studio album La Fouine vs. Laouni on 14 February 2011, La Fouine released the mixtape Capitale du crime, Vol. 3 on 28 November the same year, that featured artists such as T-Pain, Orelsan, Mister You, Nessbeal, Alonzo or even Amel Bent and Corneille, who are both featured in Drôle de parcours.

Critical reception
François Alvarez of Music Story called Drôle de parcours an album that is "torn between legitimacy and smiles on the radio, and that may ultimately leave everyone hungry". He emphasizes, "an even disc where the tracks close to variety especially have the quality of being easily programmable on radio". He specifies that La Fouine "doesn't hide himself and fully varies his rap, while slipping some harder tracks to show that his exile in Florida did not completely soften him."
Commercial performance
After its release, Drôle de parcours reached number 1 on the iTunes Sales Chart. It sold more than 100,000 copies and spent a total of 55 weeks in the French Albums Charts, and was later certified platinum in France.
