Swizz Beatz and Dame Dash, old buddies from the Ruff Ryders/Roc-A-Fella days, recently linked to talk art at Dame's DD172 Space. In the video, Swizz talks about being part of Ernie Barnes' estate and flying the painter to New York to hang paintings in his home. He goes on to speak about how the art world is the hardest arena to earn respect in, how he is about to study with Jeff Koons, and will see what comes out of that before exhibiting his works.
