Black adult film actresses on a whole are undervalued but some are more celebrated than others. Nyomi Banxxx, Cherokee D’Ass, Jada Fire and now Skin Diamond are a few popular delegates of ebony porn. There are still a bunch of cult favorites worthy of being household names; even a household shrouded by dim lights and closed blinds. Here are five underrated nymphos that swing for the fences (and from other household furniture) whenever they’re at bat.
She’s one of the hottest and most underappreciated performers in the game. Her luscious lips are designed for strong suction and spewing foam. Her body is svelte but the rump is pleasingly plump. Vanessa Monet is like Sebastian Shaw from the X-Men comics: she’ll absorb a pounding and strike back twice as hard, begging for more all the while. Whether one-on-one or multitasking with five studs, she attacks a boner like it’s her last meal. Vanessa is also a great finisher who milks the money shot for all it’s worth.
Recommended Viewing: There’s no such thing as a boring scene with Vanessa Monet but one standout performance is Black Ass Addiction, where she gets viciously double-teamed by Jean-Claude Batiste and the maligned Brian Pumper. Dressed in a black and white striped outfit like a sexy referee, Vanessa blew more than her whistle.
“I take it in my ass for y’all, baby!” That’s what a beaming Chyanne Jacobs announced to a mob of thirsty fans at Exxxotica a while back. With enthusiasm like that, is it any wonder this Faith Evans look-alike is the People’s Champion? Many of her videos take place on awkward sets like staircases, rickety beach chairs and pine cone-laden forests. No matter how compromising the position, she uses pole-dancer agility to keep her hot yellow tail steady for stabbing.
Recommended Viewing: Her scene in Black Ass Candy 11 is awesome, if you can stomach the incessant ad-libs of porn’s biggest trash-talker, Wesley Pipes. This is one of Chyanne’s earliest flicks and Wesley barks orders like a drill sergeant, molding the young redbone into a first-class whore right before our very eyes.
For nearly a decade, this big-booty vixen has been consistently nasty and shows no signs of slowing down. She thickened up nicely over years and hasn’t gone under the knife like many of her peers. Sydnee isn’t a finesse player; she gags herself on meat popsicles until tears of joy stream down her face. She squeals and quivers while her backfield is plowed. Bondage is no problem, she’ll submit to being hogtied. To hell with style points…whatever it takes to extract that nut, Sydnee Capri will do.
Recommended Viewing: Sydnee has a long filmography so it’s difficult to choose one milestone performance. However, she and the legendary Jazmine Cashmere gang up on a fresh-outta-jail Wesley Pipes in Dynamic Booty 1. The competing nymphos literally go blow-for-blow while Pipes, chatty as ever, is ultimately the winner.
There always seems to be a disconnect between the ladies that you see on Smooth Magazine covers and the ones that go all the way on camera. It’s like the porn stars are missing the thickly thickness and polish of a magazine model and the magazine model is missing the, y’know, penetrating visuals of porn stars. Leilani Leeane has the body of a girl from a 106 & Park video and the on-camera practices of a…there’s a “69 and [insert some word that rhymes with park]” joke in here somewhere. But you get the point. Leilani has become a hot commodity, winning a trophy for “Female Rising Star” at the 2012 Urban X Awards.
Recommended Viewing: Although her sordid scene at Public Disgrace proves there’s nothing she won’t do, Snap Out Of It by Brazzers is her magnum opus. It’s from the “Pornstars Punishment” series and Leilani plays a sexy psychiatrist who gets pummeled into her therapist’s chair by a merciless client.
Young Megan is a certified dyme who’s fairly new to the game. Her resume isn’t deep but her throat sure is. Watching her perform is a treat to the eyes because she looks so good in action. She rides cowgirl with reckless abandon. Her head game is gleefully messy. She gives service with a smile until she’s rewarded with baby gravy all over her angelic face. Mark my words: Megan Vaughn is a rising star with the natural tools to become one of the greats.
Recommended Viewing: Her scene with Leilani Leeane in Black Anal Addicts is the stuff wet dreams are made of. But Megan also brings her A-game in Porn’s Top Black Models by the reputable Elegant Angel Productions. Director L.T. always bangs the best out of his female talent and Megan’s vocal, energetic performance more than lives up to the flick’s title.
HONORABLE MENTIONS:
Myeshia Nikole a.k.a. Charlie Baltimore, Porsha Carrera, Jayden Starr, Hydie Waters, Bella Moretti.
Special thanks to John Gotty & David D. of The Smoking Section.




















Love the list, but I disagree with Leilani Leeane. She’s everywhere like Skin Diamond is. What about Candice Nicole, Alexis Silver, Evanni Solei, Lavish Styles.
“What about Candice Nicole, Alexis Silver, Evanni Solei, Lavish Styles.”
You’ve just given them their honorable mention, sir.
Evanni Solei is definitely a good one. There’s quite a few out there, actually. That’s why when Complex did their acclaimed “100 Hottest Porn Stars” list, the absence of melanin was stunning. You’d think black women ain’t do porn by reading that list.
I included Leilani cuz I always liked her, even when she was underrated. Now she’s no longer slept upon… that’s why I acknowledged that she’s a hot commodity & won that Urban X award. She’s ranked #2 in the game behind Skin Diamond. Putting her on this list is strictly bias.
good list except for leilanni leanne, she’s definitely a pornstar! You could also add Bethany Benz
“good list except for leilanni leanne, she’s definitely a pornstar!”
They’re all pornstars.
“You could also add Bethany Benz”
Yeah, Bethany is a hot-lookin’ chick… I actually considered adding her but thanks to you, she gets her honorable mention. Not as outrageously nasty as the other chicks on this list but she’s definitely gettin’ there… and she’s fuckin’ gorgeous.
She’ll forever be known as the chick who broke Prince Yahshua’s dick. Ouch! http://www.adultfyi.com/read.php?ID=43923
Its not complex’s fault some black on black porn ok, but not great. Its crazy how better the sistas look in IR, Big Budget or Lesbian flicks and how their performance is kicked up a notch. Forgot Kelly Star, damn she was nasty
“Its not complex’s fault some black on black porn ok, but not great”
Every “sista” on my list has been in plenty of the “IR, big budget & lesbian” flicks you praise so highly. If that’s the standard you wanna judge ‘em by then they all shoulda been on the Complex list (only Megan Vaughn made it).
Secondly, a majority of the chicks at Complex belong to one major talent agency who pushed for them cuz it’s good PR. Many of them are boring, overrated performers who can’t hold a candle to Vanessa Monet or Sydnee Capri. Even Leilani Leeane, as popular & pretty as she is, didn’t make the Complex list.
Kelly Starr got her props from me:

The moment I saw Chyanne Jacobs, I knew this was a win.
At this rate, attempting to keep up with the name changes of some of the newbies is kind of hard, yet fun and challenging. Alexis Silver was always a personal favorite of mine, shame she retired but I’ll say it like this.
“These hoes take breaks, they never truly retire.”
