What does the “DC” stand for in the Christian band DC Talk?
“It has been widely believed that the explanation for the group’s name is “decent Christian talk”; the lyrics of the songs Time Ta Jam, from their self-titled debut, and When DC Talks, from their second release Nu Thang support this. You see D’s for Decent, and you will agree “Quite explicit yet rated G Because I rhyme hard, and I speak facts And there’s no need to curse when I bust a rap And C for Christian, ’cause that’s what I am Not a soft sissy, I know how to jam Pack a party for the Father above Intense rhymes tell of ultimate love Talk is for the lyrics, they’re full of Spirit” – Time Ta Jam “D is for decent, I mean what I say But obscene, I don’t play that way C is for Christ, to the I-A-N” – When DC Talks However, the name was initially chosen because McKeehan was from the Washington D.C. area, but ForeFront marketed them as “decent Christian talk” to gain audience in the then-obscure Christian hip hop arena.
