Pusha T says OG’s shamed him for listening to Nas, “you listening to someone who’s wearing an army jacket”
In Northern VA (Near DC area) they used to wear them all the time in the 90s, guess it was far different down in Norfolk area. Heads were influenced by NY back in those days around here so the surplus was a must to get the fatigues.This just means Virginia had some lame ass nikkas
CNN and Mobb Deep used to wear them too and members of Wu, it was a North East thing in the mid 90s.

SOHH ICEY...WE EATIN
Yall nikkaz don’t listen. He wasn’t talking bout hip hop head nikkaz who studied the genre. He speaking bout ogs who was deep in the streets.
Clearly Pusha didn’t say they was right, he’s telling yall what they was telling him.
He was a hip hop head tho and studied the shyt.
Jay just spoke to his ogs, they wasn’t heads tho.
They are outside, posting on their tablets.

Bro the difference is ogs was making money in the streets. Judging by who we seen him come into the game with “geezy” who was kingpin status, they probably thought nikkaz who wore army jackets was dusty, while they was wearing high fashion shyt ect.
Push not saying the normal people thought nas was corny or dressed bad. He talked bout a specific subset of nikkaz who was living a certain lifestyle.
He never said he agreed with thrm
Either.
Nah Push tol this exact story mad times
1:07 he talked bout bein a Nas disciple and the army jacket thing
Here an article from 2011 where he basically said same shyt too
Pusha-T
The Clipse MC on favorites including Rakim, Nas, and Mobb Deep, and how he nearly lost the "Grindin'" beat to Jay-Z
In high school, I was listening to Biggie, Nas, Jay-Z, all the way out. Me and Pharrell were die-hard Nas fans. I loved the art of his picture painting. I was just dumbfounded. But we were hanging out with 100% dope boys-- these guys were official-- and they would say things to me like, "How the fukk you like that man? He's on TV with an Army jacket on-- don't do that!" So I had to pay attention to Jay-Z because the fresh, older guys were all Jay-Z die-hards. And by the time Big hit, that was the ultimate. It was street hip-hop time, 100%. I remember seeing Puff and Biggie standing on the corner outside of clubs in Virginia Beach. There was a story about Big not wanting to perform at this club that was run by a major local dope boy, and the dope boys came in, like, "Nah, you gonna get on the stage."

Power is in my hair nikka
I'm surprised we got this far into the thread.....and people don't even realize he mentioned this like 15 years ago on Games Pain Remix...It's not surprising that some Dope Dealers would have that outlook
Did a grown adult really say this nonsense?
sounds like some shyt some kids would say to each other

The story literally makes no sense. How were they die hard Jay Z guys before Biggie hit? nikka do u hear this shyt. Now follow ur brain on who was poppin first. That will tell u where the truth is. When Biggie came out what was he doing different from Nas? Literally nothing. Did them nikkas get ahold of these nikkas 6 years late or some shyt?
And on this episode of Nas Stans Say The Darndest Things.
Out of all stories that folks are trying to convince themselves of in here, this is without a doubt, the most hilarious one. Nxgga, ain't you from NC? What the hell would you know what's "fly"? Let alone have any real perspective of how cats was dressing where you're saying Nas had it like that.

But he also said they were die hard Jay Z fans. Jay wasn’t dressing or doing anything different from Nas by the time of his debut. But then when u dig deeper. The nikka said they were die hard Jay fans BEFORE Biggie came out? Then they switched to Biggie. U telling me that story and timeline don’t sound straight fukked up to u? Who the fukk was a die hard Jay Z fan in 1993? nikka barely had a catalog of music yet.

I’m from NYC. It’s the truth. Nas was considered one of the flyest nikkas to the youth when he came out.

I don't if you've ever been to the Hampton Roads area, but military surplus wear is definitely a staple of bummy/homeless people.
It's not uncommon to see homeless folks wearing whatever the previous Army/Navy/Air Force uniform is on any given day.
Most you said I agree but sayin Push at no time was fly is wrong lol. Clipse put BAPE on map to mad nikkas and really set it off in rap and street culture
They was fly nikkas to many you can say they had Pharrell connect but they was in official BAPE 05 collection and Push was gettin BAPE straight from Nigo in 02. They had fire pieces in 2000s and was def fly even had Weezy infamously dikkridin BAPE and bitin they and Jim Jones swag
