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 dishing to us on a number of topics, from Kanye West, 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 second installment of our series, Dame discussed his relationship with Kanye West, and how it went sour after Yeezy bailed on their old business partner, Kareem "Biggs" Burke, when he went to jail. Dame has strong words about watching people's backs that he came up with ("it's the gentlemanly thing to do"), and detailed his disappointment with Kanye after both Biggs and Dame did so much for Ye's come-up. 

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