He's already in as a member of N.W.A. he is a lock for solo as well, both for production, and rapping.

What if they pass on LL Cool J this year and go with Dr. Dre?

With Eminem being a sure thing in 2022, and himself and Dr. Dre performing in the Super Bowl Halftime show in 2022. With the expanded range of the musical excellence category, I think Dre looks very promising to get in the class of 2022 .If not as a performer, musical excellence for sure.

1 more thing JAY Z with out a doubt greatness & well deserving of his spot in the rock & roll hall but my opinion DR DRE should have been inducted when his name first came across the table i am pretty sure JAY Z was bobbin his head to DR DRE music & lyrics long before he made it onto the music scene ONCE AGAIN not takeing nothing from JAY Z without a shadow of a doubt GREATNESS i love the brother music & his accomplishments to the music game he has done a hell of alot & launchd great careers for other artists but DR. DRE is the man when it comes to this music game & my opinion he should have been inducted before JAY Z but also i kno it has nothing to do with JAY Z but the powers that be are all the way wrong & must dont kno much about wut a HALL OF FAMER really is if they haven't inducted DR. DRE..
