"LAST WEEK" opens with a skit inspired by Grand Theft Auto, which was shot in Tokyo and features outfits from West's YZY Gap line. This video was previewed in September on West's Instagram Story. Following this, the film showcases West in various meetings discussing clothing designs, urban farming, and his school, Yeezy Christian Academy. At one point, he is seen at a summit with representatives from Adidas, where he accuses the company of plagiarizing his designs. During this gathering, he even plays an clip from a pornographic film. In between these meetings, there are scenes of West being driven around while listening to songs from Donda 2, as well as some unreleased snippets. These songs include 530, Happy, and First Time In A Long Time.

• "I have Baby Keem come to the show tonight, we have Kendrick. Our army is so prepared. This is a different level of nuclear activity that no one will recover from. The guy from X could not sell enough companies to cure this level of global warming that you're going to experience."

Put them in the car, bring them over now. And we'll had everyone else chug over the sewing machines and all the other stuff. I literally need to see you guys over here in 30 minutes. That's why I'm calling directly myself. Just get all those main pieces, put them in your car, come over."
