How many lines is a "bar"?
 

A bar is 2 lines.

I don't know where people come up with the idea that it's one line. If it was one line we'd just say "1 line" and there'd be no need for the term "bar". Line and Bar are not synonyms.

this thread again?

It's still being argued.

‘Bar’ has multiple meanings. It can mean either in context

You want it both ways?

I say one or the other.

Lmao I love this thread


1 bar = 2 line

Rappers are the worst.


A bar is 8 beats. Doesn't matter how many "lines" you fit in that measure.

4 beats*

Rappers are notoriously retarded when it comes to slang terminology. Case in point, calling magazines for firearms "clips".

A bar is generally 4 beats which is what we consider to be one line.

Y’all stupid?

So if I make a battle call out that says 5 bars, how many lines is @bleak gonna drop?

10 bitch

So we're just gonna not talk about 27/16 time? Smfh

Depends on how many drunks are standing outside. Idk

Rappers aren't the only ones who call them clips. It's a common slang.

I've always known a bar to be 2 lines. So we will have to agree to disagree.

@Pharaohs Army...should peep my battle with Corleone then, shit's classic fam.

Lmao but have u ever wrote music sir

Bar is a measure. 4 beats to a measure. There's no debate there.

these niggas tryna argue what a bar is writing for fuckin topicals and text battles lmao

I debate this

I have disproven the notion in this thread

You can have an 8 beat bar

You can have a 27 beat bar

Everyone is right

And everyone is wrong
