How to count bars?

counting bars is very important and easy and you just need to understand a little bit of rhythm. iam explain it in very simple language

what is bar ?
a bar is a fixed group of beats
most hip hop rap
songs are in a 4/4 time signature.
1 bar=4 beats
when you listen to a beat and your foot aur head just taps along that tapping usually happens on the beat.

relationship between beats and bars 4 beats = 1 bar
16 beats =4 bars
64beats=16 bars in most rap beats are in a 4/4 time signature that why this rule works almost everywhere.

The easiest way to count bars is to start moving to the beat.
Start counting loudly
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
Each bar will be completed after completing four lines.
How to recognize bars in rap lyrics

Rap has some common structures 
Rappers follow more structure in rap songs. 

You can use an intro of 4 or 8 bars.
Verse can be used 16 times 
Hook can be repeated 4 or 8 times 
Bridge I use 4 or 8 bars 
Outro We can use 4 bars in 
Fast rapping does not increase the bars and slow rapping does not decrease the bars. 
Times are always counted by beats and not words

Flow refers to how you arrange the words to the beat. If you understand bars
So your flow will be tighter
You will not go off beat 
Your hook and verse will fit the bill 
If the time is not understood, it ends sooner or later. Your rap seems out of beat.
