Total Request Live has been on a losing streak for a while, therefore MTV figures now is as good a time as ever to shut this shit off for a while. The executive producer of the show, Dave Sirulnick, states:

“We want to close this era of TRL in a big celebratory way, and 10 is a great number,” Sirulnick said.
“And 10 is the number that TRL counted down every single day for 10 years, and we hit this 10th (anniversary) and we thought, `You know what? This feels like the right time and let’s celebrate it and let’s reward it.’”

“Let’s let it have a little bit of a rest for a minute. Let it catch its breath! Been working hard — for 10 years,”.

Lets face it TRL was only cool for about 2 years when music was more inventive and had a reason to be displayed on television. The era now is rap, and rap doesn’t flow well on tv, with all the bleep this, bleep that, and the endless amounts of big booty bitches videos. It just gets old and after about 2 minutes no one wants to watch that shit. So peace out TRL…you suck for now; come back when rap is dead. Eminem adds some input on the situation:

“I’m going to miss TRL. … Where else will I be able to start feuds, defend my honor vigorously and act like an angry teenager on national TV? Oh wait … The VMAs!”
