Songs glorifying life in and out of prison. Love of guns. Tales of shooting women (called "bitches") who don't toe the line. "Gangsta" music, with its lyrical brutality, has been one of the most newsworthy musical trends of the modern era.

Take the following short quiz and see if you can identify the "gangsta" artists who have penned the following tales of violence and crime.

Let this be a sermon
I mean everything I've said
Baby I'm determined
And I'd rather see you dead
You better run for your life if you can little girl
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end'a
Little girl
 
The Notorious B.I.G.
Cypress Hill
John Lennon
 
Breaking rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I needed money cause I had none…

Robbing people with a six gun
I fought the law and the law won
 

Dr. Dre
Warren G
Buddy Holly
 
The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing
You should've heard those knocked-out jailbirds sing
 
N.W.A.
Wu-Tang Clan
Elvis Presley
 
Dirty to the brain like drops of acid rain
Clang, clang, clang, rhymes pluckin' at your brain
So take a sip from the cup of death
And when you're shaking my right hand, I'll stab you with the left
 
DMX
Ol' Dirty Bastard
Kenny Rogers
 
Delia, oh Delia
Delia all my life
If I hadn't shot poor Delia
I'd have had her for my wife…

She was low-down and triflin'
She was cold and mean
Kind of evil makes me want to
Grab my sub-machine…

First time I shot her
I shot her in the side
Hard to watch her suffer
But with a second shot she died
 

Puff Daddy
Snoop Doggy Dogg
Johnny Cash
