I'm remember reading an interview with Kerry King from Slayer (God Hate Us All era.) and he was saying how many bands actively tried to get the sticker on their albums. Everyone from Limp Bizkit to Slipknot and everyone in between had the 'Parental' sticker. It's a hip thing, all those records that didn't need to have them on have it to not be seen as tame.
As you say, to say it deliberately targets hip hop is not true at all.
