Rapper Tyrone “Tall T” Franklin was murdered on Tuesday in broad daylight while sitting on a park bench.
According to News 10, the 23-year-old up-and-comer was with his girlfriend at the Long Park in Stockton, California. He was approached by the assailant and tapped on the shoulder. When he turned around, the suspect shot and killed him. Police have no suspect or motive for the murder.
Tall T planned to release a new album this summer. His friends told the station that they plan on making sure that the LP is completed and released.
HipHopDX sends its condolences to Tall T’s family during this difficult time.

somebody caught feelings.
This shit is ridiculous…how do you kill a man in broad daylight, just like that. Another young life wasted over some bullshit, damn.
his girl might of set him up don’t sleep
First off my cousin loved this man with all her heart and some. You don’t know the situation ,so you can’t speak on it. He’s another brother who was trying to do something with himself and this is the end result.
Y’all are heartless cowards commenting this reckless shit on here and would piss/shit your skirts being in his situation before being blasted.
I’ve never heard of him, but giving my RIP nonetheless. Young up-and-coming rapper slain like that. This is becoming too common and shit’s gotta change…
Ok. Well, I bought some new Ray Bans today.
G.O.A.T. hands down, nuff said.
smh. another fatherless child…
you “n^&&as” gonna keep killing each other off over nothing… and till there’s none of you left. congrats. keep up the good work.
Blacks (at least those in that environment) do not respect each others lives. We hold no value toward the existence of our race.
Sad but true
How is that true beyond just your perception of it being true. I have seen no polling data or studies that reflect that all blacks do not respect lives. STOP PERPETUATING PROPOGANDA and SOP TEACHING YOUR KIDS TRICK KNOWLEDGE.your perception is not reality…thank you and good night
This senseless violence in our young community is total non-sense. How about you pick up a fucking book instead of a gun and educate yourself. Shits ridiculous, now someone’s son is gone at 23! Had a whole life to live..
people dont know but stockton is tough like that thats where the Diaz brothers( ufc fighters nate and nick) are from. i think its only second tom oakland in violence in cali
IdontKnow who dude was but before all “WE need to do better” post start coming(pause) I want to premptively strike down that decry…WE didnt do anything WE dont need to do anything. YOU might but WE dont. STOP MARGINILIZING MY ECLECTIC GROUP OF PEOPLE BY PUNITIVELY COLLECTIVISING INDIVIDUAL ACTS OF STUPIDITY…thank u and good night.
George Zimmerman strikes again.

THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME. TALL TEA IN YA MOUTH. EXTRA SWEETENER. DECAF.
these articles should be called “black man who rapped get’s killed” not “rapper killed” cus these guys are random dudes who weve never heard of and the fact is young black men get killed like this everyday, sad but true. therefore, I has no real relevance to hip hop. #sorry
check his name on youtube, dude was relevant to tens of thousands of people.
Not true, I’m a 52 yr old woman living in Colorado and I knew who Tall T was. Big fan of his on Youtube! He was a truly gifted rapper who’s punchlines were complete knockouts and funny as hell. He was definitely on the rise real fast.
Never heard of dude, RIP regardless to the young Brother. Our people need more solidarity in our community if we’re to compete with other races. I can’t understand the mindset of a Black man that will take life of another Brother. The sad thing is, Tall T’ll probably become another statistic. Let’s hope this bullshit ceases soon, shit’s gettin’ outta control.
Funny how the africans are going to harvard and studying to be doctors, engineers while the kneegro american blacks we have here are nothing but useless killing thugs whos whole culture is to kill how pathetic
i also find it funny that africans distance themselfs form the kneegrow black americans lol they even think lowly of you low iq dead beats
Blacks kill each other for no reason all you kneegros want ot be is rappers and gangsters why dont you read a book study get a job youve been here 400years go do somthing seems like everyones passing you these days
White, not only are you proving that you are uneducated, by generalizing an entire diverse ethnic group of Black Americans, assuming that African Americans ” are nothing but useless killing thugs whos(e) whole culture is to kill”; you also have compared your generalization to a very small percentage of usually privileged, elite representatives from various African nations, considering the fact the the homicide rate in many African nations is tripled that of the U.S.
So, not only have you attempted to make a comparison of welathy foreigners vs. a stereotype of impoverished Blacks (saying that it applies to all, when obviously it does not), you have managed to lie by saying that Africans disassociate with African Americans, when that too is not true. Homicide is not a Black thing, it’s a human flaw that doesn’t discriminate. Just b/c you are a racist, doesn’t make your fabricated lies appropriate for this forum, or realistic in any way. Save your fairy tales for the Nazi storm front forums, kid. LMAO.
it is what it is considering most of the lesser known bay area rappers are still in the drug game…
