Playlist for Staten Island Half

I don't visit Staten Island so often. Probably Staten Island Half Marathon is a few opportunity. But, once visiting the island, I enjoy a breathtaking Manhattan view, the beautiful boardwalk, and the community's ballpark.

It is a home of Wu-Tang Clan and Christina Aguilera, and getting more diverse. Earlier this month, TimeOut magazine covered Staten Island, arguing it is "the forgotten borough" no longer, could be a next Brooklyn.

Anyway, here's my playlist for Staten Island Half on October 11.

Yes, it's Christina:
"Feel This Moment (feat. Christina Aguilera)" (Pitbull)
"Moves Like Jagger (feat. Christina Aguilera)" (Maroon 5)
"Ain't No Other Man" (Christina Aguilera)

Of course, can't miss Wu-Tang:
"A Better Tomorrow" (Wu-Tang Clan)
"Bring The Pain (feat. Method Man)" (Missy Elliott)
"Runaway Love Remix (feat. Justin Bieber& Raekwon)" (Kanye West), which samples Wu-Tang Clan's song "Wu-Tang Clan Aint Nuthing Ta F' Whit"

Uh well. With all the above songs, it was still short of a playlist for a couple of hours' run. So, I got some help from NJ!
"Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" (Lauryn Hill)
"Doo Wop (That Thing)" (Lauryn Hill)
"Family Business" (The Fugees)
"Killing Me Softly" (The Fugees)

Bronx

Bronx is the birthplace of HipHop. 

Even though I did not grow up with those classics, it was a delight discovery of some old songs as I decided to make my playlist for NYRR Bronx 10-Mile on September 27.

Some classics (and discovery to me):

"Still Not a Player (feat. Joe)" (Big Pun)

"I'm Not a Player" (Big Pun)

"Step Into a World (Rapture's Delight)" (KRS-One)

"MC's Act Like They Don't Know" (KRS-One)

And well, everyone knows JLo:

"On the Floor (feat. Pitbull)" (Jennifer Lopez)

"Feelin' So Good [Remix] (feat. Big Pun & Fat Joe)" (Jennifer Lopez)

"Love Don't Cost a Thing" (Jennifer Lopez)

Last but not least. The DEY is a relatively new, and I believe under-rated trio. I look forward to listening to more songs by them, but is the group still performing?

"Give You The World" (The DEY)

"I Need You" (The DEY)

"And I Miss You" (The DEY)
