36:11 J Cole's ode and "apology" to Drake

About 1 minute at the end of the video gets cut, and ultimately I say the scale is imbalanced and the song and J Cole appear to be more in Drake's favor because he doesn't praise Kendrick this song, only criticizes the beef but praises Drake, whereas he once dissed Kendrick on a whole song and then apologized but Drake he never even dissed and only praises in this song. Nevertheless I still give J Cole some credit for being the only one to speak for his boy Drake because not even 21 Savage or Lil Yachty his closest constituents said a word. Despite all this, I think J Cole has a good message at the end where he's saying let's all go back to making good music, music that reaches out and affects people.
