Kanye West Advises Daughter North West to Use Her ‘Inflections’ During Rap Lesson

11-year-old North will soon release her debut album, ‘Elementary School Dropout,' and appears on a new FKA Twigs track.

Kanye West is taking his oldest child, North West, to school while recording the 11-year-old’s debut album, “Elementary School Dropout.”

Just days after posting black-and-white behind-the-scenes clips of his daughter working on the LP, West posted an Instagram video of him sitting across from his daughter and encouraging her as she rapped. West shares North with his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, with whom he has three younger children, Saint, 9, and Psalm, 5, along with daughter Chicago, 7.

“Calling on God and get dangerous,” the Wests repeated in the video below, before the 21-time Grammy winner taught North how to use her “inflections” when saying “God.”

As West is also preparing his eleventh album, “Bully,” he shared on Instagram that working alongside his daughter was making him “love music again.” The title, “Elementary School Dropout” is also a play on West’s first album, “The College Dropout.”

“She asked me to make beats for her I got back on the ASR Chopped up beats for her album and chopped every beats [sic] with my bare hand for BULLY," he captioned the first post below.

While North has appeared on “Talking” and “Bomb” from West’s “Vultures” album series with Ty Dolla $ign, she’s also featured on “Childlike Things” on FKA Twigs’ new album, “Eusexua.”
