Iceberg Slim
Robert Beck (born Robert Lee Maupin or Robert Moppins, Jr.; August 4, 1918 – April 28, 1992), better known as Iceberg Slim, was an American pimp who subsequently became an influential author among a primarily African-American readership.
 Beck's novels were adapted into movies, and the imagery and tone of Beck's fiction have been acknowledged as an influence by several rap musicians, including Ice T and Ice Cube, whose names are homages to Beck.
Gangsta rap
Gangsta rap or gangster rap is a subgenre of hip hop music with themes and lyrics that generally emphasize the "gangsta" lifestyle.
 The genre evolved from hardcore hip hop into a distinct form, pioneered in the mid-1980s by rappers such as Schoolly D and Ice-T, and was popularized in the later part of the 1980s by groups like N.W.A.
 After the national attention that Ice-T and N.W.A attracted in the late 1980s and early 1990s, gangsta rap became the most commercially lucrative subgenre of hip hop.
 Many (if not most) gangsta rap artists openly boast of their associations with various active street gangs as part of their artistic image, with the Bloods and Crips being the most commonly represented.
 Gangsta rap is closely related to other indigenous gang and crime-oriented forms of music, such as the narcocorrido genre of northern Mexico.
Robert Beck (painter)
Robert Beck (born 1950) is an American painter known for his plein air and studio images of the people, occupations, and events of our time.
 Beck approaches a wide range of subjects in his work, often painting live under distracting and difficult circumstances.
 He addresses some larger topics through multiple-painting "essays", in which each image describes a facet of the subject.
 Beck is also a writer, teacher, curator and lecturer; he writes a monthly column for ICON magazine that parallels his painting, and is the past host of a weekly radio interview show on WDVR-FM.
 In 2014, he was awarded the Philadelphia Sketch Club Medal for Excellence and Contribution to the Arts. Erin Li

Roberts is a surname of Norman origin, deriving from the Norman given name Robert, meaning "bright renown" – from the Germanic elements "hrod" meaning renown and "beraht" meaning bright.
 Roberts may mean either "servant of Robert" or "son of Robert"; the latter is more common in Wales, while the former is more common in England.
 Although the name Robert was known in the British isles before the Norman Conquest in 1066, it was mainly introduced into Britain by the Normans.
 Today the surname Roberts is common in England, Wales, Ireland and the Isle of Man, with the biggest concentration by far occurring in North Wales.
 In colloquial North-Walian Welsh "Roberts" is often pronounced as "Robaits".
 The name is also common in Scotland. Frank C. Matthews
