Kid Cudi has an eye on André 3000.

In Complex’s new episode of GOAT Talk, the Insano rapper sat down with Tony Hawk to debate their all-time greats, including the greatest rapper of all time. For Cudder, that’s 3 Stacks.

“He’s just the illest,” Cudi said around the 15:40 minute mark. “I would really love to see a rap album from him. I know he’s in a different place—I know he can create something that’s just so wild and feels fresh and new. He can save us all.” Cudi then exclaimed, “Save us all, Dre!”

Before Cudi revealed who his GOAT rapper was, he showed his admiration for the OutKast rapper when asked which is his GOAT album. Cudi named Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, saying it was a “masterful” album that became the “template” for his debut, 2009’s Man on the Moon: The End of Day.

The Cleveland native is also looking to get into the studio with André again. The pair previously worked together in 2016, on Cudi’s Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin’ album cuts “By Design” and “The Guide.”

“I’m hoping to get André in the studio again soon,” he said. “Get some flute on the record and get him to spit a bar or two. André, I’ll be knocking on your door pretty soon. I’ve been watching you. I’ve been watching you close.”
