  • The Devil Controls the World
    May 13 2024
    In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of Cheap Dope, hosts Jaylen Montez and Jaden Whitmore delve into the spiritual warfare that plagues our generation and the ways in which the devil manipulates and controls the world through fear, the entertainment industry, and the erosion of faith in God. Jaylen and Jaden begin by discussing the significance of the show's title, "Cheap Dope," which stands for "Cheap Dopamine." They emphasize the importance of building strong, resilient men who can uplift their families, friends, and communities, and explore how the pursuit of cheap dopamine can destroy lives. The conversation takes a deep dive into the music industry, examining how artists like Nipsey Hussle, Lil Uzi Vert, and Travis Scott have allegedly sold their souls for fame and fortune. Jaylen and Jaden highlight the disturbing symbolism and lyrics in their music, suggesting that these artists are summoning demons and promoting satanic rituals. They also touch on the mysterious death of rapper Takeoff from Migos, speculating that he may have been a blood sacrifice. The hosts then shift their focus to the entertainment industry as a whole, discussing how movies and television shows are erasing God and promoting transgender ideology to young children. They point out the hypocrisy of Disney owning both left-leaning and right-leaning media outlets, arguing that this is a deliberate attempt to divide society and control the narrative. Jaylen shares a personal story about his time in the military and how the tragic loss of 12 Marines in Kabul, Afghanistan, opened his eyes to the meaninglessness of the wars in the Middle East. He suggests that these wars are part of a larger plan to weaken American society by killing off brave young men and women who will never have the chance to raise families.
