The president may have called Kanye West a “jackass” following his interruption of  Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the MTV VMA’s, but he still keeps Yeezy spinning on his iPad and regards his music as “outstanding.”

In a forthcoming interview with People, Obama was asked to choose who we rather spend time with the Duck Dynasty family or Yeezus and Kim Kardashian. While the prez didn’t reveal who he’d hang out with, he did take a nod at Ye’s musical talents.

“The Duck Dynasty family seems like a pretty fun bunch, so I can see how that would be pretty fun,” he said according to The Guardian. “Kanye’s music is outstanding, though. I’ve got a lot of his stuff on my iPad. If it was a concert, then  I might not mind listening to him.”

The full interview is due out December 27.
