Long bar vs Short bar - Page 2

I don't think there is a winner over the other. It all comes down to style and how well you can master them both.

I enjoy longbar because it's like a middle ground between a short story and a rap, you can guide the reader along your journey/story with a decent flow as you go with punctuation, great word usage and atmosphere of the writing style. You're also more free to experiment with words and schemes, in shortbar you're a bit more limited but get to the point faster as it's more action packed and aim to wow the reader in quick succession which is dope af when done right. If it isn't done right the whole piece just seems weak with lack of depth. In general I think shortbar is a little bit more flashy but effective while longbar is more thought out and can score you lots of points in one sentence but if the sentence is filler/cringe you'll lose twice as much since you can't really get away with it.

I used to write on CC back in the days.

When I was there it was unquestionably the biggest battling site. They could of held 10 NBL's and then some. Some nigha named Steel was the champ. I thought it was an awesome setup but it wasn't my scene i battled a couple times and took off. Think I went to boxden after that.
