When it comes to history and pointing out those who were instrumental in influencing and writing that history, there are always going to be a few that get left out for one reason or another. When looking at black porn stars in the industry, it hit us here in the office that there are so many actors and actresses out there that deserve at least a shout out, so we came up with a list of very influential black adult performers who just about everyone knows when they see them, but never quite obtained the mainstream household celebrity status like Sean Michaels or Heather Hunter for example.
Byron Long
First, let me start by saying this list isn’t in any particular order, as it would be impossible to rank everyone, but what better place to start than with Byron Long, the dick slanging master of ass himself. Yeah, Byron is in the Urban X Hall of Fame (2008) and AVN Hall of Fame (2010) but this brother is somehow left out of mainstream conversations when it comes to black porn pioneers and that’s just wrong.
Monique
Everybody should know Monique! She’s one of the few performers who can go by one name and still manage to separate from the pack. From 1996 to 2010 Monique was sucking dicks and licking clits like it was a passion instead of a job. Her sloppy blowjobs along with her intense sex faces make her a face you can’t forget. With over 350 scenes you won’t find a shortage of Monique scenes on our site, but if you’re looking for a place to start try Cumback Pussy 2 Crawling Back For More. Her foursome with Midori, Nyrobi Knights and Tom Byron (who also directed the movie) is amazing.
Devlin Weed
Devlin Weed taught me the deep stroke! I never knew much about when or where he came from, but I knew when he started grinding hardcore missionary style we both were about to cum. He’s also a pretty good dirty talker between the sheets and never shies away from telling a chick to shave her pussy before he goes up in that.
Nyomi Banxxx
I first met Nyomi Banxxx in Zero Tolerance’s Official Friday Parody, and it was love at first site. As if her scene with Lee Bang wasn’t enough, the behind the scenes footage gave fans a taste of her fun, witty personality and I couldn’t get enough. I spent days going through her scenes and was never disappointed. Her boobs always look amazing, her energy is consistently great, and her acting skills are good enough to award her any character she wants. While Banxxx was nominated for over 10 awards throughout her career her 3 wins all come from Urban X. Definitely unsung…
Lee Bang
Speaking of Lee Bang, you can find him in just about everything made between 2004 and 2011. He’s fucked all the bad chicks with the amazing asses and then married (and divorced) Sophie Dee’s sexy ass. He’s the Nick Cannon of porn, somebody give that man an award!
Jazmine Cashmere
Good lawd all that ass! Jazmine Cashmere owned the early 2000s with her amazing body and great camera presence. The fact that she was in almost every Black Ice flick throughout the years helped tremendously also. When those two got together a good time was an instant promise. I doubt many forgot Jazmine’s name or ass, but the fact that she was only ever acknowledged with awards and nominations from Urban Spice speaks volumes. Get used to is cause it’s a constant…
Tony Eveready
Tony Eveready is the hilarious guy with a smile on his face in every gang bang. I remember thinking Tony had to be the happiest guy in the world when it came to his job, and why wouldn’t he be!? He’s in over 600 movies and has worked for major studios like Devil’s Film, Elegant Angel, and Heatwave, yet he’s another one who often gets lost over the years.
Candace Von
Candace Von was born to model. In fact, that’s kind of how she started back in 2005. I don’t know the whole story, but I do know a lot of people she made happy throughout the years. She can never be thanked enough for the hours of titty fucking and booty shaking she’s given the world!
Wesley Pipes
If you don’t know Wesley Pipes, at least by face, you are missing out on some of the most energetic, interactive sex ever created! Pipes brought a whole new level of bad boy to the scene when he walked on set complete with “thug life” and gun tattoos, gold teeth, huge bold pieces of jewelry, and an “I’m here to fuck” attitude. You get the impression, even through the screen, that Wes ain’t for the bullshit. Once on set he yelled “Next time I wanna fuck til I cum” after having to beat off the last few minutes and I’ve been hooked every since.
Kapri Styles
Kapri Styles had dudes running around like chickens with their heads cut off for about 5 years straight. After she hit the scene in 2005 nobody could get enough of her caramel complexion, strategically placed tattoos (the ass tats still get me every time), small frame, and of course her beautiful big ass! There’s no shortage of Kapri Styles scenes on our site, but I recommend Nat Turnher’s Phuck Girl 10 for Justin Slayer International. The duo gets downright nasty and Kapri’s ass in on full display.
Jack Napier
Jack Napier is a true pioneer of black porn and no list would be complete without him. He fucked so many white women on camera that I thought his plan was just to capitalize off nothing but interracial flicks. And for a while that’s just what he did! To further leave his mark Jack went on to direct movies and produced hit series like There’s Something About Jack and Jack Napier’s Ridin’ Dirty.
Marie Luv
Marie Luv is drop dead gorgeous, and because of her look and appeal she actually did obtain a little bit of mainstream success. I love her in everything she did with Mike John for Jules Jordan and because she wasn’t confined to the same “ghetto booty” stereotypes as many of her peers a wider audience was exposed to her, bringing her closer to the household name fame that usually indicates you’ve made it. And while she was nominated for a group scene by AVN in 2011, it seems she quietly faded from the limelight and people’s minds over the years.
D. Snoop
This smooth light skinned brother with the perfect straight backs is straight outta Compton and known for his resemblance to rapper Snoop Dogg. When I think of D. Snoop I can’t help but smile with fond memories. The way he busts Veruca James’ pussy wide open in the Official Next Friday Parody makes you want to take notes, and the energy and fun he brings to any of the million gang bangs he’s participated takes them to another level. He’s another star nominated a bazillion times but never called up on stage.
Sinnamon Love
I know you remember Sinnamon Love! She popped on the scene in 1993 and changed the game with her small frame, big breasts and plump ass that you can’t get enough of. Love was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame in 2011, but I was surprised to see that over the course of her 15+ year career she was never nominated for anything else from them. Her scene with Lily LaBeau in Girlfriend’s Black & Tan – A Tasty Mix was worth an award alone. Watching Lily rub her knee up against Sinnamon’s clit to get her off and the ensuing 69 with asses in the air is something you definitely want to see!
Charlie Macc
Charlie Macc and his 12” penis burst on the scene by way of West Coast Productions and never looked back. Watching Macc fuck was always intriguing to me because I wanted to see who in the industry could take a full pounding from his monster cock. Most of the time it hardly got all the way in, but the girls always wanted to try. He strikes me as the type of guy that’s laid back and easy to get along with whether you’re on set or sitting in porch talking shit with your friends. He’s also a butt fanatic like myself, which is evident by his many appearances in series like Big Phat Apple Bottom Bootys, Big Butt All Stars, Giant Black Greeze Butts, and Big Phat Black Wet Butts.
Cherokee D’Ass
Moving from Charlie Macc to Cherokee D’Ass just feels right. Even if you’ve never seen or heard of her, which I highly doubt, you know from her name what it’s all about. If you’ve had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with D’Ass then yeah, you know what it’s hitting for. Pictures don’t even do her body justice. I’m telling you, watching Cherokee ride dick is one of the most beautiful things you’ll ever see! With all that juicy booty bounding up and down and up and down it’s a wonder dudes don’t nut themselves after just 4 strokes. I can’t lie, she makes a lesbian really sit back and wonder how amazing that shit must feel. I don’t even need to point you in any directions when it comes to her. Watch any movie in her catalogue and you will be satisfied.
Ethan Hunt
Ethan Hunt blew me (and himself) away in the Official Boyz N The Hood Parody from Black Ice (if you haven’t noticed I really like parodies). Everything from his look to his voice fit the part, and waiting for his sex scene, which turned out to be the last one, didn’t even feel long because the movie and it’s execution was that good. Being in front of the camera turned out to be just the start for Mr. Hunt. He took his skills behind the camera to direct and produce, and even went on to start his own production company. The man is successful, business savvy, married to Isis Taylor, and his smile is adorbs…what’s not to love!?
Pinky
Ahh the icon herself! Say what you want about Pinky but she is the definition of a black woman on her grind. Being ridiculously thick can take you a lot of places in the adult industry, but Pinky has stretched that shit beyond imagination and when you really sit back and think about it she’s inspiring as fuck. She sold her first flick out of the trunk of her car and turned that into a wig fashion line, a bubble butt tour across the country, features on rap songs and in videos, her own production company complete with contract girls, and she gets paid to host parties and events from state to state. Every time this woman blinks an eye she gets paid, and the crazy thing is she was only active (outside of a few clothed appearances here and there) between 2010 and 2014. Watch her strap game in Pinky’s New Booties 2 or her killer blowjobs in Pinky’s Dick Sucking For Dumb Asses and you’ll see what the fuss is about.
Jon Jon
You’ve seen this skinny, tatted-up, slightly pierced, mohawk wearing dude in everything and just like everyone else you said “oh yeah, that guy” and kept it moving. Jon Jon entered the biz in 2006 and has worked with some of the sexiest women you’ll ever see for major studios like Black Market Entertainment, Evasive Angles, and Lethal Hardcore. His specialty, or more likely that role that keeps coming his way, seems to be banging white actresses like his life depends on it. His fingerprint is all over Mofos MILFs Like It Black series and he has over 600 interracial scenes accredited to his name.
Roxy Reynolds
Feels like this is turning into an asses of the century post and not only am I perfectly fine with that, but I’m throwing Roxy Reynolds in the mix. Look at that thing! With all that how could anybody need anything else? Just sit that bad boy down and we’re good to go. Seriously though, Roxy has been around for years making dicks and clits feel good on top of dancing and modeling in her off time. My all time favorite Roxy scene is every single time she appeared in a Brian Pumper Phattys Rhymes & Dimes title. Those two just work together, plus she shakes her ass during his music videos, making them a little more tolerable, just sayin’.
I laughed, I cried, I reflected on life and even changed religions a few times while looking black actors and actresses up. The influence and culture that has been created as a result of black people’s presence in the adult entertainment industry is evident and essential to keeping our porn space safe, fun, and (mostly) judgement free. There are many many more black porn stars out there who deserve more recognition than the industry, and us as consumers, give them, so do yourself a favor and treat this list as a starting point to guide your own black porn history research.
