I don't know if I should really get into a conversation about the causes of something like this, since it's such a sensitive subject.
But...while I agree with you about parents being at fault, if you're going to blame rap music, then you might as well blame violent movies and video games as well. Violent rap has been around since at least the early 90's, probably some in the 80's. If a rap song is going to influence violence among kids, then I think GTA games where they can actually emulate criminal acts would influence them just as easily.
But I still think it boils down to parents more than anything else. There are plenty of people who have watched violent movies, played violent video games, and listened to rap music since they were little kids who think this is just as horrible as anyone else.
