In the world of hip-hop, few names evoke as much nostalgia and admiration as Eazy-E, the iconic rapper from the legendary group N.W.A, hailing straight from Compton. Comprised of different musical personalities, including icons such as Ice Cube and Dr. Dre, N.W.A was famous for their aggressive West Coast fashion that introduced the loc sunglasses.
In 90s hip-hop culture, the term "LOC" was often used as a slang abbreviation for "Loco" or "Loc," meaning crazy or wild. It was frequently used within the context of street culture, particularly in West Coast hip-hop scenes. However, there isn't a direct correlation between "LOC" sunglasses and its usage in 90s hip-hop slang. The term "LOC" in sunglasses likely stands for "Legendary Optics Corporation," a brand name that might not have been specifically referenced in 90s hip-hop culture.
It's rare to find pics of Eazy-E without his signature dark shades. Having Ice Cube wearing a pair of VF Easy's is one of the most legendary moments in VF history! VF Easy is now available in both black acetate and a limited edition green acetate.
