TobyMac - 21 Years | Reaction

[@Dwaynebaileymusic]

Good stuff. Toby is a legend in his genre of Christian music.

[@doc_johnholliday9642]

The tree in the video was his son's favorite tree and they had a service at the tree. You can feel his pain in his voice. Very strong in faith that man is

[@bethrow2002]

I’m a blubbering mess every time I listen to it. Dear Jesus be with TobyMac and his family. It’s a tribute to his son and I love that he did it.

[@willaimrobinson9383]

Me too .

[@lancesherman8673]

Thank you Doc. I felt absolutely awful when I heard the news! I have followed him for years, brother.

[@ldenisedavis]

Dude. You're not alone. Most reaction videos have folks either tearing up, crying or in a "finnah cry" stage. I totally teared up, but it's a beautful, tribute song to his son. If I lost my first born, it would take me about 5 years to come out from under the rock I was hiding under, nevermind trying to write a song until then. I think God helped him write that song, cuz that's probably the only way he could pull off singing about such a hurtful, grievous subject with such beauty.

[@michaeldew2981]

I’ve been a TobyMac fan for years. This was a tough one to listen to. TobyMac goes all the way back to 89 with his group DC Talk. If you want to hear some bars, listen to “The Slam” off of his 2004 solo album.

[@cynthiaperry1716]

It was hard to see/hear live when he came to Charlotte, NC. 2/1/2020

[@claytonswitzer8360]

"THIS IS THE SLAM THIS IS THE ONE!!!!"🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MsEmilyelise]

Cynthia Perry My family and I just said this next concert will be different. Just like Steven Curtis Chapman after his daughter passed away after the tragic accident. My heart goes out to Toby and Amanda.

[@cynthiaperry1716]

@@MsEmilyelise my comments hard to see/hear was in reference to him singing 21 days. You can hear the raw pain in his voice as he sung that tribute. Again, I couldn't contain my tears.

[@KurtFromTripleCs]

I went to a Toby mac concert he sang this song I knew his son died but it didn’t get all the way to my heart until he sang it

[@marissajones1840]

I love how in every reaction I see for this song 2 things happen 1st people are never ready most don't know what the songs about 2nd no one can escape the emotional reaction to this song

[@thelivingmiracle]

TobyMac is Christian Contemporary Artist He is up there along with MercyMe, Casting Crowns, Matt Redman, Matthew West, Jeremy Camp, Newsboys and Mandisa as my favorites

[@mikemcquary2727]

[@jessev2401]

All amazing artists!!!

[@tracealyea5841]

Have you heard Brandon Heath and for king and country

[@thelivingmiracle]

@@tracealyea5841 yes!

[@Queenpuma1]

His 1st born son passed away this past thanksgiving while Toby was on tour. It’s a heartbreaking story. TobyMac is a Christian artist who was a part of the Christian group DC Talk. I grew up on their music and they are all extremely talented, check them out! This is a POWERFUL song!!!! ❣️

[@mikemcquary2727]

TobyMac did a song with NF TobyMac till the day I die ft. NF

[@bpackard7568]

Tobymac song: Loose my soul with Mandisa and Kirk Franklin Awesome!!!!!!!

[@jjedele23]

Toby has been around for a long time and has worked with Lecrae, Kirk Franklin, Mandisa, and so many more incredible Contemporary Christian artists. His music is unbelievable, and he has been and will always be one of my very favorite artists. His sons death shook me to my core, and this song is a beautiful tribute to Truette and Tobys incredible faith in the Father.

[@twinsud79]

Brought me to tears!! Great song and your respectful reaction.

[@amyrose327]

One month before his son’s death Toby won Christian artist of the year. He is an amazing artist.

[@tracilay4162]

Big fan of Tobymac here. I saw him in concert early March, and when he did this song I cried through the whole thing.

[@Iconic_Scarab]

Shoot I've shed tears every time ive seen this video lol

[@jafuni9349]

I liked the empathy you showed upon learning the artist’s personal story. You had a good feel for the song straight from the start. Respect!

[@TaraLyz]

I was at a MercyMe concert when I found out about his son passing. This song is a beautiful tribute to a soul gone too soon. My prayers go out to him and his family, who I’m sure are still processing this tragic loss.

[@bradd.1339]

I haven't heard Toby Mac in years! This is such a deep song from him. Edit: a really great song by him, made to love. First song I ever heard of his. Would make a great reaction

[@darrenhutto8867]

His son died

[@bradd.1339]

I gathered after scrolling comments. It's gotta be hard to put such an emotional track into video format.

[@billgeorge9027]

Toby called him True Dog. He was on a couple of his songs beginning When Truitt was a small boy.

[@mikemcquary2727]

TobyMac son died at 21 with a overdose that shouldn’t have happened in the first place and his son just started his first tour and just competed his own second show ever before dying

[@nonstopracer3012]

Mike McQuary is for sure cause I still see it have not been determined

[@basketballk1ngz183]

How do u know it was heart attack

[@nonstopracer3012]

NBAYUNG BOY06 I don’t even know if it was a heart attack

[@trudyjeter]

Toxicology report isn't back yet. Yes his son. 21yrs young

[@trudyjeter]

A beautiful tribute to his son. Yes his son was a rapper. Had his first concert a week before he died.

[@timmoody5461]

Doc Rich, I hope that in the last couple of years you've dug deeper into Toby's music and career. I tear up every time I hear this song because I'm really close to age with Toby and have kids and now grandkids. Toby is always true to his heart and what the Lord is doing in his life at that time. Please check out his latest album, Life After Death, that just dropped this week. It is very much worth the listen. Always love your videos.

[@claytonswitzer8360]

Toby's son sadly died in October of 2019. Truett was a young artist trying to make it big. Two weeks prior to his death he had played his first show. He died the day after Toby's birthday. You should definitely react to more TobyMac songs. "Till The Day I Die" is my favorite one. "The Elements", This is Not A Test", and "Edge of My Seat" are also very awesome songs. There are many more great songs by Toby too! TobyMac is my favorite artist!

[@djpaeg1]

This is a beautiful song, very emotion-filled. TobyMac is an awesome songwriter and singer, and I have been listening to his songs for 3 decades. Please do yourself a favor and listen to some of his other songs. Very amazing.

[@ashleyrodriguez3650]

I love Toby Mac. He's such an amazing person 🤍🤍🤍🕊

[@melindaervin3572]

His 21 year old son from an accidental drug overdose. He was just starting his music career at 21. He was pulled into this crazy world, as a parent at 21 you have to let go. Toby wrote a song scars a year earlier. My prayers are with Toby and all his family.

[@casperlilleby337]

Melinda Ervin did Truett already have a kid at the age of 21 or did I misunderstand your comment?

[@cathyjones9211]

Thank you for your sensitive comments and reaction. He's taking us through the depths of emotions from losing his son. He's still holding onto Father God despite the pain.

[@corey046]

It's a song about his 21 year old son u passed away I think in October

[@mikemcquary2727]

TobyMac won a Grammy for best album in 2016 (Eye on it)

[@willaimrobinson9383]

Doc, I`m glad you found this song touching and worthwhile. Let me suggest to you his latest song "the goodness." This is what Toby does on the other side of his grief. He truly is an amazing man of faith.

[@MyRebecca9]

I have been listening to toby mac for a long time his old albums had his son as a child singing a song on all of his albums this flashes were his son and he had become a singer as well

[@carolyndavis6657]

Been a fan of toby mac since back in the days of dc talk. He is the real deal as a believer. Yes this is sad but he reveals the hope we have in Jesus. Bless you.

[@mychristianmusicweekinreviews]

You did a good job figuring out this song as you went. In one sense, yes, it's a sad song cause Toby lost his son, but I think it also talks about the hope that he'll see his son in Heaven.

[@jasonjones2239]

Much Love for my boy TMac

[@mariabushong9487]

So far you're the first video I've came across that's been able to talk on how amazing the music video and song are. Everyone else is emotional too at the end. (Which I don't blame them) Thank you for the react video!

[@TheKtbocker]

It was just released that his son passed away from an accidental drug overdose. He was an aspiring artist and started music with his dad when he was very young. He had a track on Tobymac’s first solo album, and he continued to do music on other albums his dad put out.

[@jayjohnson2396]

It’s Crazy everyone goes I’m happy but comes out sobbing this song gets you every time love you toby you stronger then I could ever be

[@josephlove5445]

For those unaware of toby mac and his son. Toby has been around since the late 80's. He has made music about his family and his son has been on his tracks from a very young age. Not suprising to see him make a song so soon as toby lives his life and faith in his music. Please check out his other songs and say a prayer for all of the people who are dealing with loss.

[@jacobpentecost2073]

His son was a song writer himself

[@Iluvantir]

"The LORD gives, and the LORD takes away. Blessed be the name of the LORD." ~ Job 1:21

[@markcainyourfriendinthecar3387]

Definitely need to check out more of his songs. He really doesn't have a bad one. He also used to be part of a band in the 90s called dcTalk.

[@robinmcpherson7981]

He is a great Artist in Contemporary Gospel. He has some great songs. Need to watch Lose My Soul.

[@dogfighter57]

TobyMac was from DC Talk, a rock/rap group from the 1990s.

[@katnip409]

Truett was a musician he died after his first show, he featured in a few of TobyMac’s songs

[@ST3W4]

You should also check out some songs from Lecrae. "Just Like You" is one of my favorites

[@sienabettini1442]

Yes Toby Mac's son passed away in October 2019 from an overdose. He was 21 years old and Toby Mac's oldest child. The last time Toby Mac saw his son was his son's first show and that's why he said "see your second show". The tree in the video was his sons favorite tree and they had his funeral there. Prayers go out to him and his family

[@wjc252006]

The greatest tribute. It is a powerful Christian song. I listen all the time. Still brings me to tears of How God loves us.

[@danieldawg100]

Mr.Doc Rich, wado for your DECENT, CLEAN and RESPECTFUL “Reaction” to this song, and for your RESPECTFUL words for TobyMac and his family. wado for CHOOSING to be a DECENT human being by NOT cussing and for NOT using other filthy language. IF you do more Christian Music “Reactions” I will watch and listen. By the way Mr.Doc Rich, I do not know if you are a Born Again, Blood Bought Christian or not, but wado for not being a mocker, a doubter, a scorner of Jesus😊. Remember This: Jesus Christ has done nothing to you, Jesus Christ has done everything FOR YOU😊. wado,Ann Benson.

[@TingusPingus445]

And to this day this is not a test will be my favorite album by him

[@sheenakinman8506]

Any of his older albums has a track with Truett where he calls himself trudog. When he was part of the band DC Talk they were told they could go main stream they only had to tone down the message. So they released Jesus Freak one of the best songs ever.

[@TianCrash]

The song is about toby's older son Truett, who died on october 22nd 2019, last year.

[@Alaska_mechanic]

He's singing about his son's accidental overdose at 21. what a beautiful song

[@faithiehesseltine]

It’s a tribute to his son that passed during thanksgiving....... his son was trying to become a singer as well.

[@breannagerhardt8712]

He wrote this song about his son Truett. Who passed away last year. It was sudden. He was 21

[@MsWarriordiva]

TobyMac is known as a Christian rapper, but his music varies. He was the lead singer for DC Talk & left them for a solo career.

[@GoneReacts]

Yesss sewing you put it together in the video instead of later in the comments was so satisfying.

[@nonstopracer3012]

The chorus and the bridge of the song I feel is the most powerful in the song. I also heard and seen the music of the song probably about 20 times now

[@mojowasabi8823]

His son as a kid would appear on his early solo albums.. but at 21 he ventured into his own career.. he died right after his first show

[@deannascott8050]

That last bit wrecks me.

[@believeroftheword4627]

Check out "Feel It" for a much better vibe of Toby. Yes, he poured his heart out in this.

[@bhilyard55]

I know I am late to the video, but Toby has been around for a long time. He has had his son on several of his albums. Toby was away in Israel, and got the news when he landed that his Truett was gone. You can find how he died in more recent articles. But this tore Toby up

[@ST3W4]

If you wanna check out some more of TobyMac's songs, check out "Catchafire (Whoopsi-Daisy)", "Diverse City", "Boomin'", and "Everything"

[@dortheychastain2195]

21 Years is a tribute to TobyMac's son who died in 2019. It's very emotional. TobyMac is a Contemporary Christion music legend. His son, Truett, was getting started on his own music career. You should go down the TobyMac rabbit hole..TobyMac has had an amazing solo career. But even before that, he was in a Christian hip hop group in the 90's called DC Talk

[@haleywebb7987]

Doc Rich I am a huge tobymac fan his son had just turned 21 and started making music got caught up in the wrong crowd and became a druggy and after his first show he had a drug overdose and died Tobymac made this song like three months after his passing

[@millycoriano]

His son! His baby boy!

[@melanagrey]

One of my favs is Speak Life.

[@drewskilove8120]

That was a GOOD insightful review. I am a Christian and share the same faith. in spite of our experiences here on earth, we have an eternal hope in Christ that one day all of the pains, and regrets, and heartaches will be gone and we will be together with other believers in Heaven and live in perfect peace and harmony with eachother and will see God, i can't fully comprehend the depth of that, but that is my hope because of the price that Christ paid for my sins, and he says "I will make everything new".

[@passionforyarn1990]

Dude you're killing me. Toby's son was a artist following his dad foot steps and also sang with his dad when he was just a boy. Unfortunately his son die at 21. Toby is a Christian , & Christian artist, his son died at 21 yrs old and toby is singing to God & his son. Much love

[@RobinMcPherson-k3m]

He is a Contemporary gospel Singer. He has some Great songs out. You need to react to Lose My Soul.

[@jaysondixon923]

tobyMac is an artist who came up with a rap group called dcTalk, then after they split up he went solo and his son, Truett was following in his footsteps and on his way to being a bonafide rapper just like his pops when last October, he tragically passed away from an accidental overdose of Fentynl and meth at the age of 21.

[@deyrabh]

You have to listen i just need you from Toby Mac is so nice

[@mayaacevedo7243]

You should listen to more Tobymac songs, for example The Elements, Edge Of My Seat, they are more up lifting songs, and he also made the song Scares for his son.

[@shawnwiseman7508]

Toby son was actually following in his dad footsteps

[@susanblackwell912]

He's a Christian, love his music ❤

[@davidmcintosh6171]

I know this is an older post & I pray I'm not repeating facts or telling you something you've learned in the interim. TobyMac is an awesome Christian artist who has traveled a tough road but shared enough to bless us in the growth of his faith. Afterwards he released another song, "Help is on the Way", that was inspired by a verse in the Psalms that says God is rolling up His sleeves to come to our aid. There was another reference to this Psalm in his recent collaboration with Blessing Offor called "The Goodness".

[@shawnaklinger67]

Toby Mac, the Mac is back, no slack, on a DC track that’s jacked beyond comprehension, I believe I failed to mention that, there’s a lack of recognition, when it comes to his position… DC Talk (Toby Mac)

[@pathanna1653]

Pretty much any song you listen to by TobyMac and the group that he was with back in the early days called DC Talk Is Awesome

Toby Mac wrote a song about his son worried he was headed for problems on his last album Elements.
