About Us:
Everything started with the Discord server KLHub (short for Kendrick Lamar Hub), it was launched back when group buys (or GBs in short) were starting to pop off and Rocko helped out with things like getting buys organized and such, which is how Rocko ended up on the staff team.
When Rocko (One of the current admins) joined, the server's staff team was small and often inactive, with only a few active people like owl (macky), Playa, and gabu and some other admin Rocko didn't know, but he slowly stopped being active like the rest of the staff team. The original server owner was mostly MIA, the owner itself was very inactive to the point where we would have a couple problems when it'd come to ownership and changing things around in the server.
Eventually when the server was growing and GBs and became more frequent, we've decided to make a new server and migrate everything and everyone we could to it.
So we started over, and that was the creation of the current day of pgHub (back then it was called KLHub v2, bringing with it everything from the original server.
Then came The Vent Theory.
At some point, we have began noticing how often Kendrick mentioned the word "vent" in demos, lyrics, themes. Some of it was just memes, some of it was genuine curiosity. But it became a full-blown obsession. There were lyrical connections, detailed "vent timelines," and even theories that the entire Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers era was conceptually built around the act of venting: emotional release, internal struggle, transformation.
The server was sort of small but it was a very tight-knit community, so we would have a lot of great moments.
When Zaytop returned, the DAMN. GB was formed, with it came a massive infodump with a document that confirmed long-standing rumors (like Look Woman album, which was real at one point) but also that the "vent" thing was all mere coincidence. There was never any actual timeline or anything, and was just a product of Kendrick constantly evolving and changing his songs.
Of course this left the server devastated, so we were floating around a bunch of different names for a while for the server, until we finally decided to focus on pglang artists as a whole rather than just kendrick, and we became pgHub, an inspired name from Kendrick's creative company "pgLang".
Then came Kendrick vs. Drake: one of the biggest moments in hip-hop in recent memory.
The beef brought the eyes of the world onto Kendrick — and, by extension, onto us. PgHub exploded overnight, growing faster than we could’ve imagined. Thousands joined. Discussions surged. We became the place for real-time reactions, bar breakdowns, meme warfare, and layered analysis of one of the most culturally significant rap beefs in a decade.
Then the beef happened, and skyrocketed the server's member count to around 2,000, for better and for worse the server became what it is today.
The Discord server has unfortunately been terminated by UMG when the server had around 3,000 members.
