I Need Drugs

I Need Drugs is the debut studio album by the American rapper 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 Necro's uncle and a friend shooting heroin and smoking crack cocaine while Necro performs the song.

I Need Drugs (song)

"I Need Drugs" is the title track of Necro's debut studio album, I Need Drugs. It is the third track on the album and also the most drug-inspired song on the album. A re-make of the hip hop musician LL Cool J's "I Need Love", it turns the original song, in which the narrator laments his regrets for playing women and now seeks a meaningful relationship, on its head by presenting a drug abuser praising his crack cocaine addiction.

A music video for the song was directed by Necro himself, who had previously filmed two short films entitled 187 Reasonz Y and The Devil Made Me Do it, in 2000. The video depicts people shooting heroin and smoking crack cocaine while he performs the song. It also features Necro's blood uncle, Howard Tenenbaum, better known as "Uncle Howie". The video was partially filmed in Uncle Howie's apartment, on a Hi8, and edited using Avid Technology.

The video is available on the DVD included with the special edition of Gory Days. It was also released in small quantities by Necro Pictures on the I Need Drugs Music Video, a short film featuring the music video, backed with a performance at New York City's Brownie's and four freestyle skits, in 2000.

Background

In 2006, Kandi confirmed that she was working on her next album, which was originally set to be released that same year. Then, a promo single, "I Need", was released on December 19, 2006 for her second album. After the promo single failed to garner any success or attention, the album was put on hold indefinitely.

In 2008, Kandi began work on her second album. The album had several release dates in 2009; July, August, September, and November. The Fly Above EP was released on October 29, 2009, coinciding with the release of the album. It was used to promote the album and the lead single "Fly Above". Kandi made the decision to delay her second album into 2010 because she wanted to continue to record, but the main reason for the delay was because of the fact that Capitol Records hadn't signed her. The deal later fell through. Kandi also wanted to be able to promote her debut EP separately from her album.
