People really asking how this went X amount of pages without context. Push is talking about '96 Nas, which we all know wasn't on television in military jackets. This was a mich more flashy Nas and was highly influential on style. He was rapping more so avout the subjects these OG's would've been more into.
Even then, the whole military aesthetic was still huge in Hip Hop from Pac to Wu to Bone. That particular look wasn't associated with a style of rap. It was just fashion until No Limit made it part of their brand.
Then you had actual artists from Virginia publicly stating Nas as one if their favorite rappers.
That's not to say Push wasn't "shamed for liking Nas", it just comes off confusing.
