Houston Meteorologist Uses Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’ to Soundtrack Weather Report
Written by Michael Saponara on June 4, 2024
Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” has permeated different avenues of culture outside of music such as politics with a Joe Biden ad, and the Drake diss has now found its way into a weather report.
Houston meteorologist Adam Krueger shrewdly weaved K. Dot’s wordplay into Tuesday’s (June 4) CW39 broadcast as “Not Like Us” helped spell out the steamy temperatures in Texas, which probably threw off some of his audience.
“Let’s say you want to travel somewhere cooler. How many opps you got? If you wanna pass on this heat like John Stockton you can go into the Northwest where there’s 60s and 70s for highs today,” he said while channeling his inner-Kendrick. “So again, we got temperatures in the 90s, but it’s going to feel hotter for several days. Wop, wop, wop, wop!”
Krueger continued: “This is not a major cold front. In fact, the general rule this time of year if it’s June and we’re talking about a cold front, it’s probably a minor.”
The meteorologist hopped into the comment section to clarify that he’s not choosing sides in the Kendrick-Drake feud. “For the record, I’m not picking sides. I want no part of this beef,” he wrote.
However, fans loved to see him leaning into “Not Like Us.” “Certified weather man,” one commenter crowned him while another envisioned the scene of an elderly person not understanding any of the references.
For his final trick, one camera panned to another which hilariously had a printed-out photo of Drake taped to it and hanging underneath the lens.
It should be known that Adam Krueger is no stranger to incorporating rap lyrics into his broadcasts. He previously went viral mixing in bars from Eminem’s “Without Me” and Lil Jon & The Eastside Boyz’s “Get Low” anthems.
K. Dot’s “Not Like Us” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in May and is still holding strong at No. 2 on the latest chart. The Mustard-produced West Coast bop also came in at No. 2 on the inaugural 2024 Songs of the Summer chart, which returned on Tuesday.
Come for the weather and stay for “Not Like Us.” Watch the fun broadcast below.
