Pharrell's musical imprint spans across The entire scope of pop music. He is an Icon and deserves to be inducted 100%

Possible. The neptunes took over music in early 2000s. Happy was a huge annoying hit.

The question is whether he will be inducted as a Performer or under the Musical Excellence Award (as a producer), and whether he will be inducted as a solo artist or as a member of The Neptunes.

Also, when he/The Neptunes should first become eligible is interesting.

Considering their production records, they should have already been eligible for several years. (Also, do producers/sidemen follow the same 25-year eligibility rule?)

Or will he also be inducted as a member of N.E.R.D?

So, in theory, he could be a three-time inductee: Pharrell Williams, N.E.R.D, and The Neptunes.

It will happen, it is just a matter of when.
