Got so many bars, just like rikers Island
Cause I lock them haters up, with my rhyming

from AJ Crash (Ft. IiMZ) – 8th Wonder Lyrics on Rap Genius

In hip hop, “16 bars” is the standard length of 1 verse. In musical terms, “16 bars” means 16 measures. In hip hop, the music is usually in 4/4 time, in other words, 4 beats per measure or “bar”. If you’re not familiar with these musical terms, just think of a bar as having “2 snares.” Since in most hip hop music the snare falls on beats 2 and 4, there’s gonna be 2 snare hits in each bar. He has a lot of those. So does the Detention Center “Rikers Islands”, not in the sense that it has a lot of good rhymes, but in the sense that it has actual, physical bars, that keep their prisoners locked up. (It’s a metaphor)
