Album Notes By his own admission, Necro's music is sickening. The rapper tries to out-Eminem Eminem by unleashing a tirade of songs that are a putrid wash of music, drugs, sex, and bodily fluids. For a project filled with so much bile, the production is remarkably bland. A couple of tracks on I Need Drugs, namely "Get on Your Knees" and "I'm Sick of You," have some musical punch, but Necro's homemade production is mostly an afterthought. I Need Drugs seems to have no other point than to try and offend its listener. While he tries to be part-LL Cool J and part-GG Allin, he comes off as a 12-year-old trying to get the attention of the kids on the playground by telling dirty jokes. Ultimately, the album's unwavering desire to shock us is what makes it so boring. ~ Jon Azpiri
Editorial Reviews 7 out of 10 - ...The sickest man in hip-hop right now....made up of grimy, XXX-rated tracks....completely amoral and completely without irony...and not a little stomach-churning. But sometimes it's also funny... NME (07/07/2001)
