The fact that he can he still hit that "it's time TA JAM" in the same pitch. Lol!

I agree with Joy. Don’t question the greatness! 😂

naw, Tony's great cause Jesus is Great.

I agree with you! Except I think DC Talk was better than anything any of them are doing now. Just my opinion. 🙂👍✌

It was kinda cheesy, lol, but we thought it was great when we were 15.

[@jackiefilakosky669]

DC Talks song "Minds Eye" still makes me have to pull the vehicle over and cry.

[@karaa7595]

I wore a "Jesus Freak" t-shirt to highschool after becoming a Christian at 16. Good times.

[@stitchy_linn]

Pertinent question currently is how is your relationship with Jesus now? That's what's important!

[@curtisball4437]

Probably better than kevin max relationship ​@stitchy_linn

[@mikesims744]

Jesus Freak! First concert I ever went to probably 24 years ago. I introduced my 8 year old to it last week and now it’s all he wants to listen to. I love the old stuff.

[@skilz8098]

Hearing this and the fact that your 8 year old son loves it brought tears to my eyes and filled me with nothing but joy! Keep the Candle burning!

[@tds4jc]

Honestly I love every dc Talk album. There's not a cringe-worthy moment listening to it especially the 1989 debut and Nu Thang. I'm getting the Word of God in my heart while grooving to it. MOMENTUM is still my favorite album. Out of all the discography/repertoire that Toby released, that one set me on fire!!!

[@DonHawkinsPhoto]

I still say Jesus Freak is probably the best Christian song ever produced.

[@Disavowedagent47]

What if I Stumble, Consume Me break my heart

[@africkinamerican]

Best song of the 90s!

[@skilz8098]

When I was younger I would have agreed with you and now that I'm in my early 40s, the one song that resonates with my heart and sticks with me the most is Colored People.

[@kevinfillingim7394]

Jesus Freak was extremely ahead of its time.

I think this interview really brought out a real tobymac. So fun to watch him re-live the past. So great! On a side note- ( I kinda miss that intense momentum toby)

[@kraftdinner83]

I definitely lean in! DC Talk "Yo Ho Ho" is a yearly staple on my holiday playlist!

Toby had a good nugget of wisdom there. We may not like parts of our past, even the successes, but our experiences make up who we are today.

[@TheBatandVanGorder]

I love this. So real 🥰

I'm 55, and I am DEF-IN- IT-LY leaning in to the whole history of the DC TALK years! Tonight, ran my mile, blasting the whole JESUS FREAK album (album? What that?)

[@rawar777joshanderson]

I hate when people rip on old DCT. You have to look at all the music that was happening at the time and they were right there with it. I have such fond memories of this kid from my church singing "Round round, your spinnin' round" and then finally hearing the tape and hearing what he was singing. We wore that thing out! P.I.D., D Boy, End Time Warriors!

[@sherryfannon6888]

Lol, and I just got through listening to "Jesus Is Just Alright" by DC Talk 😀

[@jerbojones]

I'll be honest I didn't get into DC Talk til The Free At Last Album because I thought everything before that just sounded corny. My friend who was big into them played nu thang and their other stuff when it first came out and I was like no. Then we were at his house and he played Love is a Verb and I was like what is that?! He said DC Talk. I was like wait the same guys from before that sounded corny?! He was like yeah. Now I was like now this sounds pretty good! I was fan after that.

[@lissettesbloom8223]

It was great.

[@Adfinityau]

@TobyMac God used you to impact my life back then, and he's using me to impact my life now. So thank you. 21 is song I am playing every day as we walk our own difficult season. Thank you

[@dpwellman]

Funny. About the time a certain freak of an album was making the rounds the some of the AA guys swung by the LU student radio station to hang out (I didn't ask). The topic of DC Talk came up. Asked if we keep DC Talk catalogue on hand. Do I? Oh yessir. Prepare to be dazzled, Audio Adrenaline. _Round round, you're spinning round, you're life goes round and round (g-g-guitar)_ Needless to say, they left that night feeling much much better their station in life.

Lol. I’m with Toby. But I still enjoy it. DC Talk was very of it’s time with every album.

Their sound on each album was still kind of progressive for each era though.

[@theoe2879]

Brings back those great memories. Some bittersweet and most give me chills and tears. I'm with you!

I've been a fan of DC Talk since the 90's and just found out Michael's last name is Tait. That's the difference between media then and media now.

Toby, DC talk was amazing! I love your music now but, don't mess with your old self. DC talk compared to your music now I listen to it more. I reflect on the lyrics a lot. I hope that one day I could be like, that and sing amazing like that as well. If u think it was cringy let me tell u that it's one of the best things ever ! I can't even compare it to other Christian song! Love it and your music too, God bless and keep it up!❤✌✝

I LOOOOOOOOOOVE RAP MUSIC 🤣😅😅

[@joejoerobinson8724]

I think the first album and new thing we’re actually the best, it’s actually rap, where Jesus, freak and supernatural was more pop

[@BrigitteLaskowski]

Please ask Toby McKeehan, also know as Toby Mac, how it came to be that DC Talk got the song "Things Of Things World" and the words for "Jesus Freak". What's the story behind the inspirations? Were there other song writers who were there at the right time who influenced the direction? Someone who naturally spoke in rhyme about not really caring if anyone labeled them as a Jesus Freak?

[@stitchy_linn]

???

[@dzinypinydoroviny]

I've never heard a better christian album than Supernatural.

[@skilz8098]

Jars of Clay and their Jars of Clay album from 95 was, still is an amazing album!

[@jampotp]

Gotta match the rhythm of his belly with my head

[@skilz8098]

Here's what I remember when I first came across them. So Help Me God Colored People Jesus Freak What If I Stumble Day by Day Mrs. Morgan Between You and Me Like It, Love It, Need It Jesus Freak (Reprais) In The Light What Have We Become Mind's Eye After that Album Finished playing... Liquid Sinking Love Song for a Savior Like a Child Art in Me He Boy on a String Flood Worlds Apart Blind / Four Seven Can you tell me who the second album was from? They were the days!

[@leumas8688]

Jars of Clay 😎 they were awesome too

[@Jolly4jc]

If you go to the DC Talk official website or their Vevo channel, it does almost seem like Toby & the guys would like you to believe that DC Talk's career began with "Jesus Freak". There's no music or videos from the first album or from "Nu Thang" and only a little bit of mention of "Free At Last". I guess they really do "cringe" at the music from their early days.

[@whomcnem8812]

I have a uncle who listens to old Toby Mac but is unimpressed by his recent work lol it’s worth mentioning that he is a little odd 🤣

[@skilz8098]

I hope so; God created an arrangement not a bunch of mimicking robot drones that the world expects you to be! I'll be a freak for Yeshua!

Nu thing is a way better song than Toby's very recent songs. Except "Everything" That's a great song, so is Edge of my seat. So is momentum, Atmosphere and his other albums since 2000. Just now his recent songs like I just need u. Play your kids Jesus freak Toby!

[@Spinkicksandrootbeer]

Tobymacs first record sounded a lot like hybrid theory and limp bizkit

[@HunterAllan]

I love dcTalk but I can definitely see how compared to what he's doing now looking back on that for him would be kind of cringy

[@BrandonMitchell84]

The cringest part is that kevn and others are now coming out and are exvangelical , more and more they are realizing the actual harm caused

[@RachelSemeson]

What’s name of outro song

[@MattAngell1210]

I missed it…what did he cringe at? Seems like he was cool with it all.
