North West is officially following in Kanye West‘s footsteps as she announced her debut album on Sunday … a title that plays off her dad’s legendary catalog.
Ye gave North the floor at his “Vultures 2” listening party Sunday night in Phoenix, and she unveiled her album name — “Elementary School Dropout.”
The announcement drew thunderous cheers across the venue, as the crowd immediately recognized the title as an homage to Ye’s monumental debut, “The College Dropout” … which dropped back in 2004, long before NW was even a twinkle in his eye.
Hip Hop nostalgia aside, North’s album title is interesting for another reason — Kanye is currently crusading against his daughter’s private school in L.A.
The album title’s gotta have Kim Kardashian feeling some sorta way … we know she’s been upset Kanye is airing his grievances about the school on social media, instead of discussing it with her privately … as required by their divorce settlement.
North’s crack at rap stardom started with her feature on Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s “Talking/Once Again” from “Vultures 1.”
That put her in historic company as one of the youngest artists to place on the Billboard charts … and an early indicator she’ll be back on “Vultures 2” and, eventually, her own record.
