Gone are the days when Kanye would wax poetic about the nature of religion, war, and love, and the days we wanted to awkwardly fist-pump to his infectious rhythms. Kanye strains himself for a decent rhyme scheme; the best that the lethargic “Heartbreak” can conjure is, “Bad enough that I showed up late / I had to leave before they even cut the cake / Welcome to heartbreak.” The trippy visual concept is admittedly cool, except, well...
