Supervisor Candidate Jane Kim 'Brings Da Motherfuckin Ruckus'

The SF Weekly recently asked 10 candidates for the Board of Supervisors “to choose a single song to represent them” and, as you can imagine, all the choices were craptastic songs like Imagine, Respect, and some song about hot dogs.  Even the candidates who chose quality acts like Nas ended up picking lame tracks, like one about how kids should grow up to be astronauts or firefighters or some shit, rather than tracks off their only good album about the plight of the urban poor and smoking weed.  However Jane Kim, hailing from the TL, injected some quality into the list claiming Wu-Tang's “Triumph” reps her.  Badass move.  For the unfamiliar, read Ol' Dirty Bastard's intro:

What y'all thought y'all wasn't gon' see me?
I'm the Osirus of this shit
Wu-Tang is here forever, motherfucker
It's like this ninety-seven
Aight my niggaz and my niggarettes
Let's do it like this
I'ma rub your ass in the moonshine
Let's take it back to seventy-nine

I can only imagine how this list would have read last election.  David Campos probably would have picked Immortal Technique's “Harlem Renaissance” since it's a brilliant Latino rapping in an accessible way about the evils of white people gentrificating minority neighborhoods.

ZING!

Jane Kim, I love you. Wow. I can’t believe this is real. ‘Triumph” by Wu-Tang is pretty awesome. #FuckYeah!
