Krumbsnatcha Filing Civil Lawsuit Against Police

Rapper Krumbsnatcha of the Gang Starr Foundation was wounded in a hit and run following a dispute at a club outside his native Boston and is now filing a civil lawsuit against police present at the scene.

According to Krumb, born Sharief Haqquani, the episode occurred in front of state troopers and the Leominster Police Department. Krumb alleges that police were of no assistance.

“They witnessed this [hit and run] happen and they didn’t call the ambulance to the scene,” Krumb told AllHipHop.com. “They pretty much made me get up and escorted me out of the city.”

Krumb has already obtained attorneys to investigate the situation. “I feel my civil rights were violated,” he continued. “These guys have arrested me before on fake warrants, towed my car and everything. I [went] to court and there wasn’t even a warrant.”

Krumb had been involved in other incidents with the same police department in the past and alleged that they wanted him out of town. “It’s not even about not being allowed [back]. I’m not going period anyway, just because it’s too much tension,” Krumb said. “I’ve been having altercations with police in the Boston area for numerous events.” The rapper further explained that a song on the Training Day soundtrack called “W.O.L.V.E.S,” where he lyrically attacked law enforcement, may have added to the friction.

According to Krumb, the hit and run incident on Oct. 28 occurred about 1: 30 a.m. during a listening party for his latest album Let the Truth Be Told, released earlier this month. Krumb said an altercation broke out between partygoers and Prynya Sommola, an owner of Krumb’s label Golden Eyes Entertainment.

As the fight intensified and spilled outside the club, Krumb said, he was hit with a car by the party crew and driven down the road on the car’s hood. The rapper injured both knees and slightly fractured the lower part of his right leg, hampering his ability to walk.

Krumb, who lives in Miami, said his mother is currently caring for him and his condition is improving.

As of now, Krumb’s upcoming projects include a mixtape album and a collaboration album titled Experience with Florida producer Stix. The duo, called The Experiment, expects to release the album next summer.

“It’s a whole different style. I’m experimenting more on different sounds and maybe even more commercial records,” Krumb said. “I’m just trying to go all out with this one.”

Krumb is also finishing up a new mixtape called "Reverse the Curse," hosted by DJ Chubby Chubbs, with material that didn’t make Let the Truth Be Told.

The mixtape is expected to release in late December, early January.

Haha, gangsta shit!

[Krumb Snatcha]
...
Savage beasts, like wolves when we roamin these streets
And work for least, fuck peace, go to war with police
Some call the priest, there's a demon in ya hood schemin
Catch me out the six leanin, with the nine steamin
Ain't that 'cha BM
The sound of the glock sound like rocks in Watts
I point a Ruben at'cha crew and give you somethin to watch
D.T.'s, Feds, and NARCS, exchanging shots
In broad day 'til the first one lay when he pop
And if I pull and you pull,
the one to get to get it worst be the last to burst
ICU status, wih the phattest nurse
Gat holders chuckin them burners, with the fat pollers concealed
But quickly leave a veal through your window shield
Reckless, connected like a Nexus, for your necklace is on
...

Chorus:
[Children] Y'all police best be ready!
[Snatcha]  If your tired of seein niggas gettin beat in the street
[Children] Y'all police best be ready!
[Snatcha]  For all my hungry ass thugs that be tryin to eat
[Children] Y'all police best be ready!
[Snatcha]  For my people in the ghetto, get up off of your feet
          And let the wolves out! (Unh)
          And let the wolves out! (What!)
          And let the wolves out! (Unh)
          Let the wolves out!

You can't say "Fuck the police" one day and them expect them to still protect your ass the next day. He shoulda been smarter and more responsible.

I don't exactly blame him for making the song, cuz I think he was having problems with the police before the song was released. But you're right about that.

Yeah, you should be able to do that.
The Police isn't a clique or gang that you can't say anything about without them turning against you or going to war with you.
They're supposed to be a non-biased authority maintaining the law, they shouldn't be saying "Well you don't like us, so we won't do our jobs since you called us out on our bad work".

Yeah, yeah, agree on that. I'm not saying Police shoulld say "You disrespected us now go fuck yourself" but I think that Krumb is being a hypocrite. I mean, dissin the Police and making songs like that and shit, and when he has a problem then he go crying like a pussy "oh Police didn't help me", bitch I thought you gave a fuck about the Police!! Handle your business then. If they're that incompetent you don't need em, handle your shit! It's too cool to make songs dissing the police, that shit sells, and gets you some sales from the rebel 15 year olds. It seems that, once again, what the preacher say is not what the preacher do.

I still agree the Police should protect him regardless, but I am judging Krumb's reaction.
