Hip Hop Icon Branded Headphones Trend Continues (Jay-Z vs. Dr. Dre)

I think rappers are running out of products to promote and make money off of these days. What ever happened to promoting premium liquors, high end cigars, expensive cologne and flashy cars that no normal music fan could afford?  Did someone fianally realize that it actually makes sense to have rappers promote a product that relate to their art form and fan base?

Well it seems like Jay-Z and Dr. Dre are thinking clearly since they both have their own signature line of headphones dropping in the near future.  With the ridiculous popularity of the iPod/iPhone, people are willing to pay hundreds of dollars for high quality accessories to go along with it.

I can't think of any other line of headphones with a celebrity endorsement so it was just a matter of time before someone thought that this would be a good idea.  Actually, it's a PERFECT idea.  If you see Dre or Jigga wearing his headphones in the studio, you know they're good so you are going to want a pair too.  Even though both will probably be fairly expensive headphones compared to most, it's still a somewhat affordable product for a good majority of fans.  I might have to get a pair of Dre's for the lab and a pair of Jay's for the street.  Holla!
