American Rapper FIRST time reaction to CHINCHILLA - FINGERS Live for HungerTV 

Watch the interview with Chris Liepe. She does write her songs, she's also her own costume designer, meaning she actually makes them. No wonder she and Ren hit it off.

I love watching reactions to this song because everyone is blown away by her voice on the hook, and then she gets to, "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" and they find out she was just warming up her voice. 😂

"Keep your keys in your knuckles like I have to." That's a strong line. It's easy for men to forget about how powerless women really are in a man's world. All the rights in the world won't help you in a dark alleyway if someone decides they want to hurt you. That fear must always be there. Apparently she improvised that lyric. The whole song was reworked with the piano for this performance. It's a great song.

She is a star like Ren is a star. I can definitely see how Ren views her as a musical soul and companion.

Does that mean you haven't 🤔 reacted to "How to be me" live with Ren x Chinchilla? 😯 amazing! Get ready to get in your feels.

Just another reminder…this was LIVE. I’m in awe every single time I watch this.

She writes her own music and produces it too. She's a goddess! Love Chinchilla! ❤ great reaction! And you'll love Elements too I think.

I'm throwing in my vote for you to do, "How To Be Me," with Ren & Chinchilla. (LIVE) You will lovvveee it. Promise.

I think the point of this, at least for me, is that this is a uniquely female revenge fantasy. Trauma doesn’t affect men and women differently necessarily, but it appears to me that this speaks to a common reality where women face a lot of potential for physical violence on their own bodies, but generally do not have access to any avenue of defending themselves or retaliating through physical reciprocity. This is a fantasy that speaks to the underlying rage a lot of women feel but often have to dismiss or suppress regarding that reality. It’s a fantasy because people aren’t generally thinking about cutting their ex’s fingers off, but it’s a heady fantasy for women because while many women have faced being physically brutalized or killed by significant others, there is not an outlet for the anger that encompasses that reality. She paints a picture of what that anger looks like in a fantasy narrative. The most poignant part for me is the line at the end “put your keys in your knuckles like I have to”… women put their keys in their knuckles to defend themselves against physical assault by men, but how effective is that really? It’s a statement of the he profound vulnerability that underpins this depiction of anger.

She writes and produces her own stuff - you should probably go to Elements next for incredible bars and production - glad to see your respect for such a great artist

She's not the Disney Princess we deserve but she's the one we need right now.

Finally you discovered one of the best female artists today. She is Rens female counterpart...

You seriously need to do Ren & Chinchilla's "How to Be Me"(Live)... I LOVE "Chalk Outlines", but I think How To Be Me tops it. Amazing live duet.

I remember watching Lady Gaga come up and everyone being confused by her music. I get that kinda vibe with her...love to see it. Here for all the Chinchilla.

Great reaction to a great artist! The whole "fingers" thing, to me is metaphorical. She's talking about exposing the abusive person, making them powerless and not able to repeat the abuse on anyone else. It's very empowering.

She's no longer a shadow of herself, as per the line "this was me last year", now free of the record company and in complete artistic control at all levels. She has arrived and none can be anything but impressed. She's a masterclass in the best that an artist can be.

I think i remember reading from Chinchilla that this song was more about the breakup from her previous record label rather then a significant other in the normal sense of the word. The beauty about this song is it could quite easily be both.

So happy to see you reacting to this, it’s such a powerful performance and really demonstrates her range and control. You want to look at Elements next, it’s 🔥

haha we told you to stop sleeping on Chinchilla. Thank you for the reaction. Looking forward to listening toLittle Girl Gone. Trauma affects all of us equally on a physical level. I think where it changes is in how people are allowed to openly deal with that trauma. Women for a long time were silently abused. We took our voice back. Men have always been in the peril of trauma, and they are expected to take it and never say anything about it. I think we have seen how well that works with our veteran crisis and the higher rates of men unsubbing from life.

So she writes and produces ( her stuff and others work too). She made the hat she is wearing. The piano on this is great- so restrained. Her voice with the piano reminds me a touch of Tori Amos ( little Earthquakes era). The video as a whole- Tori Amos + Alice in Wonderland- on psychedelics ❤❤❤❤

Oh man!!! You gotta do some Ren x Chinchilla - How to be me (live). You won’t be disappointed! Thanks for another solid one BP! Much love, and have a great day! Off to Space Invaders 😁

For me as a women if you've been in a violent relationship it stays with you. So the next man wants to be keeping one eye open. I just want to say she has done another DUET with @Ren called HOW TO BE ME! ITS BEAUTIFUL. X🎉❤

FINALLLLLLLLY!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR MONTHS!!! 🖤 🖤 🖤 Regarding trauma: it's always the strongest one who lands on HIS on top, on HIS feet, right? So, when it comes to females getting abused by men it's a fact that there's more women getting murdered in domestic violence situations every year than men, and the reason for that is so multilayered I could write a f*cking thesis about it here. One thing we can all agree on is that men most commonly are stronger physically than women. Then there's the social aspect of everything from the women liberation-movement (in the west), to the fact that lots of ordinary people still harbour thoughts like "well, she's gotta have been doing something for him to beat her like that... " There's shame, there's standards, there's laws, there's social stigma, and the list goes on. If you live in the US today, your "human worth" can't be lower than it is for a female POC, and why is that? (Yes, that was a rhetorical question.) Up until now it's been like this: When boys grow up they get to hear that they're not supposed to cry, don't act like a girl, toughen up, all kindsa BS like that. Girls, on the other hand get sort of the same treatment PLUS a requirement of being pretty, not too butch, tom-boyish at it's best, but just up too a certain age. You're supposed to manage by yourself to a level, but then you're supposed to ask for help from a man. And if you don't? Well, then sayings like "hell hath no fury as a woman scorned" get from being just a saying to a truth. When females snap of one ore another reason it generates miles of words written, blockbusters, sensational lore! But when men do the same, every day, all over the world, it might generate a small note in a local newspaper, but most commonly it becomes a number; statistics. If you think about all the music you yourself have listened to in your life... How much aggression from male artist haven't you, and the rest of us, just consumed. Nothing special, maybe a shrug. Right? But when a female artist describes what she'd like to do to someone who hurt her bad, it's what...? Well, you said it yourself: morbid. Society has no reason to lean back and rest, saying "well, women can drive, vote, start a business, whatever really, without a man, so we're done here!" as long as *"keep your keys in your knuckles like I have to"* says a lot of how it is to be female in this pretty bleak world. So whenever someone manages to put into their art what I, and millions of others, feel on a daily basis, that's when at least I feel like I can breathe a bit easier; there's someone else out there who acknowledges me. Dunno if you understand what I'm coming from with all this, but hey, it is what it is! Love, love, LOVE the reaction! 🖤 🖤 🖤 xoxo From STHLM, Sweden

Any woman who has been abused in a relationship totally gets this.

That was a virgin experience for myself, (beyond the chalk) and your reaction was like a fine outline. I captured a character blend from Alice in Wonderland, the psychedelic yet jazzy tune was a soulful scratcher. A genre bending dark reality artistically done. Chilla Claus brings presence. I appreciate your poetic take on music and life. Proud to be posted here.

This is my favorite Chinchilla song because it feels like she’s taking the power back from someone that thought they could make her small and wounded. “Put your keys in your knuckles like I have to”. I like that you’re opening up room for a conversation about this. Trauma affects all people differently whether it’s a man or a woman. Some men become more aggressive because society doesn’t allow men to look “weak” by having feelings, so the fallback is aggression which is “manly”, therefore it’s okay. Some women have the same reactions and even though it’s more acceptable for women to cry and feel their feelings, people become very dismissive of those feelings, so they also fall back on aggression, but women aren’t supposed to be aggressive, so the perception is that they’re broken. Which is crazy because everyone - man or woman - should be able to feel some kind of way when they’re traumatized without having to water it down so other people can swallow it.

She is so good Ren & Chinchilla are unicorns. She is the best female vocalist I heard in a long time. She does thing with her voice I have never heard before. Cold water & shadows are really good also. But fingers live is Mount Rushmore performance for me.

I understand this is an empowerment song, but I also fell in love on this one. I’d give her all my fingers.

How to be Me - the live version - is a must!!! X

Absolutely 'Clockwork Orange' vibes. That's exactly what I thought the first time I saw this vid. She's amazing! Trauma definitely makes you smarter unless you're a very slow learner.

The first time I heard this, it broke my heart to think she would be abused. She's such a sweetheart and mega talented.

Day 10 without drinking. Can't wait till I start feeling better. Right now, all I can think about is drinking, an that it WILL NOT make me feel better. ❤️

Elements is my favorite Chinchilla joint. She is just on another level.

Don't F with Chinchilla - shes a boss! And we love her for it! ❤

I saw someone comment and say they believed that Fingers & Little girl gone is about her frustrations with how she was treated by the industry rather than an abusive relationship and that kind of made more sense to me, but I don't know if Chinchilla herself has confirmed this theory or not. Great reaction as always BP! Love from U.K xx

Chinchilla is a talented singer and performer like Ren. Her outfits put me in mind of Alice in Wonderland, Queen of Hearts for her style. Beautiful her and her outfits. More Chinchilla reactions like you have done for Ren.

How to be me - the live version by Ren and Chinchilla is the greatest thing since sliced bread. It rips you. You need to do it, as many of these messages mention...

Chinchilla is like if Lady Gaga took some mushrooms, and I'm here for it.

Should have millions of views. Pure genius. Criminally underrated.

If you want a song where the emotions hit and you can feel the pain, Yebba, My Mind the live performance. ❤

When a man breaks a woman down we store it. We capture it and we don't forget. Sometimes with some of us.... it makes us store inner rage and we will absolutely come back and make sure you don't have the opportunity to do that to us anymore.

Chinchilla is a beast! This song tugs at all your senses and the creativity is bar none! Both Ren and Chinchilla are creative geniuses! Love your reactions BP ❤❤❤

17:56 She actually said that the part, “Put your keys in your knuckles like I have to.”, was actually improvised while singing. (Women often learn to keep keys in between their knuckles to try to protect themselves when alone.) That part is basically like a warning to the person she’s singing about that she’s coming for them.

You are right her work is art not just music. Like Ren her attention to the detail of every aspect of her work is extraordinary. Beautiful, disturbing, relevant, so that even though we may have never been in the type of situation she is singing about, she makes it so recognisable and relatable.

I was waiting for your face for womans scorn bit lol. This and little girl gone are my favourite one of hers by the way she makes all her own clothes and hats

BP you got Chinchilla and this song right off the bat. What a pleasure to watch💕👍🦇

Gotta hear How to Be Me live w/ Ren! Also her song Elements!

The girl can sing, man! Great reaction! And yes, she writes all her music herself. As for the trauma response... it depends on individual's character, personality and strength at the moment of that specific traumatizing trouble... But overall, psychological differences between men and women as groups do exist. So generalizations might be applied, but not at all of the cases.

This song blew her up a couple months back and then she exploded with Little Girl Gone. Hard to believe she only had 6k followers then, she’s at a 61k now. Glad she’s getting the recognition she deserves!

This song is a vocal master class.

Please start bringing people in to watch Chinchilla!! 🔥

We are animals and we all react to trauma differently particularly dependent on life experience and the stage of our lives🦇

I have suffered some serious trauma. Now I absolutely take no sh#t. That said you do lose some of your softness. So both, it's strengthens part of you and kills other parts. Chinchilla rocks.

Her song Elements is incredible. You should def check it out

As someone who’s been through trauma, I think how a person handles it depends on the specifics. It also depends on the person, not necessarily the gender. Men may be able to put up a tougher front, due to societal expectations, but that’s also part of the reason suic!de is more prevalent in men.

The quote that resonates with me is “if I were you, I wouldn’t want to fall asleep, because karma is coming back for you and she’s in the shape of me.” My father used to say “everyone has to walk across a dark parking lot alone sometime.” My Grandma used to say “Cast iron cookware is not just for cooking. If he hits you, wait until he is asleep and introduce him to the iron skillet alarm clock. Don’t stop until you are sure he will never hit you again.” Jerry Reed had a song called Attitude Adjustment. It taught me to treat everyone with respect because no matter how bad you think you are there is always a time and place where you are vulnerable. It is just easier and better to simply be a good person.

Trauma affects different people differently. Don't fuck with a woman who deals with trauma by taking on life and getting the skills to kick ass. Don't fuck with a man who has the same approach.

I saw her do a version of this live at the Isle of Wight Festival in the U.K. the weekend before last. It was nearer to the original version that she released than this one, but both are awesome. Her voice, her performance and the band were just incredible.

Looking forward to hearing what you think. One of the finest vocal performances i've heard in a long time. Love her. Like Ren, she doesn't sing her songs - she performs them.

I have been through a lot of trauma in my life, and now at the age of 44, with three boys, ages 26, 10 and 6, being alone after an emotionally abusive relationship for 5 yrs, I have just finished my teaching degree yesterday... so now I have my bachelorsdegree and I feel empowered, not broken.

Check out the original of this song, it's an interesting pop/techno version. I love it. I like this performance better but the other one is a vibe for sure. She also improvised some lyrics on this version on the spot, kudos to her pianist keeping up on the unexpected additions on the spot.

Once you get past the lampshade outfit and focus on her vocal skill you see she's very talented. There's a theatrical flair about her, too.

Chinchilla knows..its as simple as that..Her lyrics resonate with millions of women..The quote of Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned..I had that hung on my wall..my Ex understood what that meant.. eventually. Bad men need bad Karma..in the shape of the female they abused..full stop.☮️💓🇬🇧

Tbh I think a scorned woman takes second place to a damp woman trying to put on a sports bra. That's a level of rage even Lucifer would shy away from 😄

Finally!! You GOT TO do Elements too!!She does her own producing too LOVE her!!! She also makes her outfits especially hats!

Best Chinchilla song+version ever imo. Not much else like it.

Yes, Chinchilla writes as well as produces her own music! She is an effing powerhouse of pure talent and her artistry and creative expression are so unique and fresh. Madly love her, glad you are going down the rabbit hole!

That NOTE she hits. 🤯 All humans are unique, and our life experiences influence how we deal with trauma far more than gender does.

Yes, I 100% believe trauma affects men and women differently. I internalize everything and the result was unfortunately a stroke when I was a very healthy 43 yr old and another just in April at 49 - no causes could be found other than extreme and prolonged stress and duress. My husband has been through some trauma but he never internalized it.

Chinchilla writes all of her music, but she also produces all of her music so little girl gone all of that that was all her production

I've been waiting for this reaction. Watching reactions to this and her song Elements are some of my favorite ones. Her power and control are off the charts. Very excited for her to have her moment.

Also her music is absolutely as varied as Rens

SO very please you do this one, so amazing, just love this girl. "How to be Me" Live with Ren is incredible. Thank you for such a great channel and support for these guys ( and Angelina Jordan )

She is a beast, in the best possible way. There’s a really great interview with her on Chris Liepe’s channel. She talks about some of her influences (Aretha Franklin is one of them), which really comes out towards the end of the song. The album version is completely different and her artistry is outstanding. I think we all deal with trauma both similarly, and differently. The type of trauma, how early you were exposed to it and how often it happened. I’ve had some things that happened when I was super young, and they are my earliest memories, that have absolutely fucked with my head over the years. I’ve tried to overcome as many of them as I can. Some made me a stronger husband and father, others still linger and pop up when I least expect it. Gender, race, etc. certainly provides a different experience/perspective, but ultimately we’re all humans and try to deal with trauma the best way we can as individuals. That’s not to invalidate anyone else’s trauma, with a few exceptions, we all experience the same emotions and process them through our own experiences.

The quote is by William Congreve:"Heav'n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn'd, Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn'd." Chinchilla embodiesthis with her whole being. She is a force to be reckoned with 🙌🏻

Lol knew you'd love this!!!! Chinchillas ability to personify emotions by bringing life to her words be it word choice or pronunciation or annunciation when her words are meant to cut you can almost feel the knifes edge!!! So flipping incredible... her voice delicate and lady like as we're supposed to be then ferocious and venomous as warning that she's been pushed too far.. Bc a woman will give you everything until you take just that lil bit to much and break us and we have to protect ourselves from both the one who hurt us and ourselves if we are to have any hope of putting ourselves back together behind the scenes without leaving cracks in our armor exposing fragility You can tell when it's bad bad bc soft isn't an option when something as simple as a hug could completely destroy you Love this woman ❤❤❤ soooo much talent and omg strength!! Empowering in its purest form... ❤❤❤

Everyone deals with trauma in their own way. It could take you down or make you stronger. It doesn't matter if you're male or female. Trauma is what it is, and hopefully, you get over it. Chinchilla is fiery hot, with many killer songs! I suggest you jump down the Chinchilla rabbit hole 🕳. Her Cold Water live is one of my favorites! Listen to her latest album it's fire!

This is a chilling phenomenal performance. Her latest video is brilliant too its Little girl gone.

Just when you think she’s reached the pinnacle of her vocal gymnastics she whips out something even more amazing. Great reaction btw. The official video for Fingers is also amazing and visually stunning and you really get the way she layers her vocals. Also Elements lyric video which isn’t just a lyric video. She’s incredible.

Chinchilla's "Trigger" is a fantastic up tempo track. It would make a very good film or serial main track.

Omg! I love Chinchilla. And Fingers just shows how talented she is!!

Oh definitely do "Elements"....my favorite by far

Yes women are different in how trama affects us because we feel things deeply. Trama breaks us but it makes us stronger in the end. I absolutely love everything about her. She reminds me of my daughter that I lost. I see her everywhere though and that's what makes her live forever.

Woo hoo! At last! This makes me very happy👍🦇

Whether she has been there or not, she makes us believe it ❣️

Yeeeah man! Chinchilla is like a beautiful monster with an angel's voice! Next one should be the "Elements" lyric video. She goes in hard like Little Girl Gone and the beat is sooo hard.

She also produces all of her own stuff as well!

Would be cool if you could grab an Interview with Chincilla too,the one she did with chris liepe was a great watch,but only one i have seen.This song gives me shivers down my spine every time,amazing

Trauma can make anyone stronger or break anyone down and you won’t know until it hits you.

This is, like, THE Chinchilla performance, so if people weren't recommending this they done goofed, lol. And honestly, I think this is the perfect intro point to Chinchilla-after Chalk Outlines, of course-so you're golden. re: trauma. My gut reaction is that men and women don't have an innate difference in how they deal with/process/move beyond (or don't)/experience trauma. However, social expectations re: how men (are supposed to) operate and how women (are supposed to) operate have created a difference in how that trauma is expressed.

I absolutely LOVE Black Pegasus's commentary and this is a classic gem for he spots things I felt but couldn't verbalise. He explains his thoughts so well, with passion and honesty and educates me with every reaction. I'm appreciating music genres I've never understood although they hooked me in and BP is giving me the language to understand. Kudos from a white 63 year old English woman who's loving everything BP puts out. Wow!

Them: “Who hurt you?” Me: “Who didn’t?” Great reaction BP!

Love your channel, great reaction. Thank you. Yes “how to be me” live version next please.

So glad to see you doing this one

After watching this a million times I think I finally decided the jitteriness of the dancing in it is to represent that she's not a puppet❤

loving your new last track bro........really fresh style

Trauma? We are human, Hi Ren tells it for both men and women. I am a woman abused for 20 years of my life. Made me strong enough to fight through anything, yet understanding the power of words and actions and how they affect others. Be kind, that is the most important thing you can do as a human being.

Everyone comes outta trauma differently there no man vs women but as a woman trauma had just sharpened my edges 😂

Yes at last you're checking out Chinchilla! We love this girl SOOOO MUCH!☮️💓🇬🇧🔥

Ren x Chinchilla - How to be me (live) is amazing
