And not just for style but needed them frames and wore them for more than reading. Trying to see something.

...except 2pac who was trying to avoid jail. JK.
I am thinking anyone who for part of their image involves them wearing glasses for part of their career.

3036198, Good call on Heavy D. His were almost always

tinted to look like shades but I'm sure he wore prescription lenses.
As far as Slick Rick though, are we counting an eyepatch? I don't remember seeing him in regular glasses...
