<p>OH COME ON we know that's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=em328ua_Lo8">a Mary J. song</a>. Chill. But <a href="http://mashable.com/2011/12/05/alicia-keys-tumblr/">as Mashable reports</a>, Alicia Keys—<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQEn33fPLRQ">collaborator of Drake</a>, who <a href="http://www.betabeat.com/2011/11/08/drake-i-hate-what-tumblr-has-become">H8s</a> himself some Tumblr—has joined the microblogging network at <a href="http://thekeysofalicia.tumblr.com/">thekeysofalicia.tumblr.com</a>. Why? </p>
<blockquote><p><em>Keys calls her Tumblr “<strong>an artistic representation of me</strong>, my art and my world.”</p>
<p>“It allows me to give a fuller picture of my life,” says the singer, “whether it’s a song, working with a cast of a Broadway play or <strong>encouraging people to join the movement to end AIDS</strong>.”</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Funny, that's exactly why we use it. </p>
<p>Again, <a href="http://www.betabeat.com/2011/11/08/drake-i-hate-what-tumblr-has-become/">previously</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>"<strong>I hate what Tumblr has become.</strong> Because it like, it reminds me of those clique-y girls in high school that used to make fun of everyone else and define what was cool, but in five years, when you all graduate, that shit doesn’t matter. <strong>No one gives a fuck about that shit.</strong>”</p></blockquote>
