  • Summary

  • In their fifth episode, Hannah and Greg, discuss the rap beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. The chorus of Kendrick's latest track repeats "They Not Like Us" over an unapologetic, unmistakably West Coast beat; however, the question that quickly emerges during this episode is who are transracial adoptees most like -- Drake or Kendrick? And in what ways? Through their commentary, Hannah and Greg begin to notice parallels in the internal and external conflicts created due to insecure identity and arrested development.
