Does anyone know why rappers are wearing goggles now?

I've seen a couple of music video where they're wearing Oakleys or some other shit

Because their fucking lame? I can't think of any other legitimate reason.

This actually started back in the 90s so it's nothing new. If I can remember some of the videos, I'll post them. If anyone else remembers, feel free to share.

Of course, RZA's Mason Aguirre 6.0 commercials may have inspired it recently...

Why did Pharrel wear Zoom Force 1's to a red carpet premiere? They're fucking stupid that's why and make shitty music.

Odds are these companies are paying them to be seen in or name drop said product.I know a lot of drink companies pay to have their brands promoted.
