If You Google Ratchet City, Shreveport, Louisiana Pops Up.

Shreveport, Louisiana wasn't always known as Ratchet City. There was a time when Shreveport was known as an All-American City in fact, Shreveport was named an All-American City in 1953, 1979, and 1999. The nickname Ratchet City didn't become a thing until 1999. Shreveport had a very prevalent rap scene and the group Lava House coined Shreveport the Ratchet City in their 1999 single "Ratchet".

Since then, several artists have celebrated the Ratchetness.

"50 Cent" Doesn't Want Shreveport to be Ratchet Anymore.

All my favorite hype songs about Louisiana sneak in the word ratchet, are you sure we can cancel the ratchetness in our city Curtis Jackson? The good news is that you can get a jet straight out of town if you decide to be ratchet. We love the fact that Mr.Jackson is claiming Shreveport as his city, we are all so stoked about the events and plans he has for our town, but are we willing to give up being ratchet?
