Is the rap game as regional as it once was?

One of the things that got me on this topic in the first place was the evolution of the Cash Money crew. It started as a group of mainly talent from Louisiana and the South, but after many of the big names fell off or parted ways like Juvi, Mannie Fresh, B.G., Lil Turk, etc... Birdman and Wayne started recruiting, and instead of staying local, they reached out to people like Drake from Canada, Nicki from N.Y., and Tyga from out West. I feel like the artists in Young Money/Cash Money sound more like one another rather than the part of the map than the came from. Tyga sounds more like Wayne then Snoop or Dre. Nicki sounds more like Wayne then Nas or Jay-Z. Drake.......... well Canada isn't quite a hip hop super star factory, but y'all get what I'm sayin.
