Not everyone is pleased with the title of North West's debut album, although the fact that releasing it at the young age of 10 is undoubtedly impressive.

But the title truly makes people raise their eyebrows.
At her father's "Vultures" listening party on Sunday, the oldest daughter of Kim Kardashian, 43 and Kanye West, 46, revealed that she will be releasing new music.
North dropped the bombshell while on the spotlight at the Footprint Center stage in Phoenix, Arizona, with Kanye standing close by.
"Hi, it's Northie, and I've been working on an album. And it's called Elementary School Drop Out," she said, as the crowd erupted, obviously proud as the title has not sunk in yet.

With his hands resting protectively on his daughter's shoulders, a beaming Kanye led his daughter off stage as the thunderous applause continued.
After a while, it became apparent that not everyone approves of the name choice.
Many feel as if she's (and her team is) encouraging the idea of dropping out from school and felt alarmed. Some said even Kim Kardashian could not have approved this!
Ironically, it happens after Kanye blasted Kim and him on social media last week over their most recent parenting dispute.
Kanye reportedly requested Kim to take their kids out of an exclusive primary school in a note that was uploaded on Instagram, and Kim is apparently unhappy with him for it.

"Kim, take my kids out of Sierra Canyon. This is a phony school for celebrities who work for "the system," Kanye said in all caps.
According to a source who spoke to TMZ, Kardashian feels frustrated with his constant public attacks and naming of the school because North West can be put into danger by this breach in privacy by her own dad.

According to the insider, she is also upset that the rap musician informed their kids that "school isn't necessary."
According to the individual with knowledge of the matter, Kim chose Sierra Canyon for the kids' education because it was known as a "fantastic school" and because "their children need consistency in their lives."
"I'm praying she didn't actually drop out of elementary school," one person reacted to this new album announcement. Another asked, "Hey I think it's cool she wanna do music. It's just how is this a good idea to call an album that?"
One more confused fan asked, "Did she actually drop out of elementary school?" One said, "A kid with "Elementary School Dropout" as the title is wild."
"Well, most elementary school students will think dropping out is cool while North West lives in luxury," one worried.
When Kanye's album "The College Dropout" first came out in 2004, it sold over four million copies worldwide. It's completely possible that North West's album will perform as well.
At the Sunday listening party, North wasn't the only West child in attendance. Her two younger siblings, Chicago, age six, and Psalm, age four, thrilled the audience with their performances on the smoke-filled concert floor.
