"I Need Drugs" is the debut studio album by American hip hop musician Necro, released on November 7, 2000 by Psycho+Logical-Records. This album maintains emphasis on both his violence and sex themes, rather than focusing on one or the other such as in his 2001 album "Gory Days" and his 2005 album "The Sexorcist", respectively. The album spawned one single, "The Most Sadistic", and a music video for the title track.

The album contains 13 studio tracks and three radio freestyles. Seven of the studio tracks from the album were previously released on the "Get on Your Knees" single and the "Necro" EP. Featured guests on the album include Necro's brother Ill Bill and Mr. Hyde.

"I Need Drugs" contains many Necro classics, all of which showcase notable styles Necro refers to as "gore" ("Your Fuckin' Head Split"), "sex" ("Get on Your Knees") and "violence" ("The Most Sadistic").

A controversial music video was made for the aforementioned title track, which depicts people (Necro's uncle and a friend) shooting heroin and smoking crack cocaine while Necro performs the song.

"The Most Sadistic" and "Fuck You to the Track" were subsequently remixed since this release, in 2003 for "Rare Demos and Freestyles Volume 1" and 2005 for "Rare Demos and Freestyles Vol. 2" respectively. An alternate mix of "Rugged Shit" was also released in 2003 on "Rare Demos & Freestyles Vol. 3".

Trivia

* "I'm Sick of You", "Cockroaches", "Fuck You to the Track", "Burn the Groove to Death", and "S.T.D." were featured two years earlier on Necro's debut EP, "Necro", in 1998. "Get on Your Knees" and "Underground" were also released before the album, on the "Get on Your Knees" single, also in 1998.
* "I Need Drugs" is one of Necro's only two albums to not have an instrumental version released, the other being 2005's "The Sexorcist".
* The album cover was taken from a screenshot of the music video for the title track.
* The title track "I Need Drugs" is a sort of satire of the LL Cool J song "I Need Love", from which the beat also is borrowed.
* The track "Underground" features a verse from Metallica's song Master of Puppets.
