You Need That: Synecdoche, the full quote is "You need that, 'cause without it you suck". The expression is used when you are forced to accept something painfully useless, or when you do something even though you know it’s useless or painful.

The opposite is “That’s not needed” which is an understated hard diss. Sometimes "you need that" justifies a tom foolery, sometimes it's used sarcastically, specifically when something is so bad that it's almost funny.
