If anything, Dame Dash is a man of ideas, and he's not one to keep them to himself. Recently the storied entrepreneur and former Roc-A-Fella mogul invited us down to his Lower East Side gallery, Poppington, to catch up, as he's done before. But this time, we brought a camera and we let Dame be Dame.  He didn't disappoint. Dame dished to us on a number of topics, from Kanye West, to Jay Z, to his former business partners, and how age has seen him reconfigure some of his views on life and business (among many, many other things).

In the third installment of our series, Dame discussed his relationship with the media, and how he's often portrayed (as opposed to how he actually is), as well as the debt certain people owe him (like The Butler director Lee Daniels, to name one). He also spoke with us about putting artists on, including comedian Kevin Hart, as well as his relationship with Hart, whose current success Dame foresaw over a decade ago. 

Check out what Dame had to say in the video above, and stay tuned for more segments of Real Talk with Dame Dash.
