^X-art had a scene some years ago with Lia Lor-- I believe-- that had a similar glamcore interracial aesthetic, but Blacked is innovative as far as an all IR site with that sort of upscale aesthetic quality.

Whether the charges were accurate or not, the IR genre had been criticized for its perceived poor image, portrayal, & depiction-- basically how performers are made to look-- criticisms from Carter, Brandi, to even Ms. Texas years ago, etc.
Lansky does a great job making the models look stunning.

^ And I think what everyone seems to be missing right now is that Greg Lansky's bank accounts, member subscription, and numerous awards are what is setting him apart from the others who have had "similar websites".
I don't really think a lot of people were understanding what he was saying in his speech. Difference between listening and understanding.

DarkX came later - the first scenes on Blacked.com are from Spring 2014, the first one from DarkX.com are posted in October 2015.
Dogfart had/has a different aesthetic.

You could very well be right about Lansky's reasons for not producing many anal scenes on Blacked. In my opinion (and not necessarily anyone else's), that's a mistake. There are basically two reasons why my membership will be limited to 1 month: 1) The lack of anal content, and 2) the one scene per week release schedule. My true preference with site memberships is to sign up for 6-months or a year. But, for the reasons I just stated, I can't do that with Blacked. Just to be clear, let me say here that I have nothing but respect for these people and the content they're producing. I'm simply providing feedback as a consumer.
As for the file size issue, I can tell you that after the re-encoding I did on the Megan Rain scenes I downloaded yesterday, I am 100% satisfied the resulting quality of the videos when viewed on my 48-inch Sony LCD. Would there be a difference on a 70-inch screen? Maybe so. I can't really say since I don't have one. The two scenes in question are the two anal scenes she's done for them. The original download sizes were 3.5 gb and 4 gb. After re-encoding them with handbrake, file size was reduced to 1.4 gb and 1.85 gb respectively. Again, to the naked eye and ear, there doesn't seem to be any difference in visual or sound quality.

Dogfart content doesn't have anywhere near the production values of Blacked. It's sort of a pro-am level of content similar to traditional gonzo porn that you would see in the late 90's and 2000's. Blacked is totally different.
Can't comment on DarkX since I lack personal experience with it. Content looks good though, probably a bit rougher than Blacked. Again, can't say for sure though quite yet.
JJV isn't strictly interracial. It's more general interest mainstream b/g porn with strong production values. There's lots of vag only, some anal, some interracial. They probably cater to some other fetishes as well, it's been a while since I've had a membership there.

I'm a longtime member of Dogfart. Anyone can look at the trailers for Dogfart's scenes, then look at the trailers for Blacked's scenes, and see the difference. Likewise for Jules Jordan, which isn't an IR site anyway and is therefore irrelevant. Dark X came after Blacked and ergo is also irrelevant.

I can see your point guys. I know you like the quality in his works and and I am not denying that quality. But for me the whole GL universe is just too monotonous to be innovative. So, enough from my side.

Actually Dark X has been created as home for IR content from Mason , before that she used to film porn content with no label at for hard X and erotica X and prior to that for Elegant Angel , Mason never labeled her content before Dark X , she put whatever IR or not inside her movies and sites , but then the market suggested she should separate her IR content from the rest for commercial reasons and she did.
Mason has been and still is rather influential as a director to many collegues I wouldn't dare to call aything she does as irrelevant

^Was my conversation with InstantClassic really that hard to follow? I was not making a statement about the overall relevance of Dark X. Please read the relevant posts on this page, and then you will understand the specific context in which I stated that Dark X is irrelevant.

look, I'm not the biggest fan of the material but you guys are miscontruing MPUSA's argument. Relative to the time of the site's creation: DarkX was irrelevant because it did not exist. Maybe wording could have been better but that is the fact.
Blacked has changed the landscape of interracial porn. A site that actually elevates the status of black male performers and provides a consistent, high-production stream of interracial content. The creation of Blacked likely pushed Mason to create a stand-alone site for purely interracial content, when, as aforementioned, her prior interracial content used to not be made specifically for all IR movies(save for a few early HardX titles). The boon in demand for the high quality interracial content likely led Jules to get back in work with Mandingo. There has been a significant trickle-down effect
Dogfart was around, but they marketed themselves on the hardcore raceplay that ultimately turned off bigger prospects for becoming potential first-timers. Now you can say they are pushing wolf tickets with their tamed down approach that the older band of customers are not used to. Plus their low budget setups were basically equivalent to pro-am startups
Bangbros: poor-production, lack of star power, highly inconsistent release schedule, seem to bite off the hot new site every 6 months or so. They've basically forfeited the position they had in the IR hierarchy because they are looking for the cheap thrill and not the long term gain. Actually they haven't fully given up, that would be...
Naughty America: once Blacked hit the scene, they shifted all their interracial content into some pseudo, poorly shot hotwifing niche. When they bombed at that, they gave up completely(havent released a scene with a black male in over 6+ months)
But at least these guys are the Mindgeek/Manwin family. I wonder how the conversation went down when he first introduced Teens Love Huge Cocks(his precursor to Blacked)? Here, the higher ups had a problem with Vanilla, I mean, Reality Kings, putting so much emphasis on black males in their scenes. But yet Manwin kept clowns like Clover and Tony T on payroll until hell almost froze over.
To me, Lansky is allowing black males to have equal credence around the industry and land in bigger gigs. And yes, some people have preference of males like they do with females. I'd rather watch a black male with a female; moreover, most white males are dime a dozen. You guys say: "black or white, no difference", but then you notice around the industry that black males get shafted with cruddy scenes or low grade talent while the scrubbiest white male gets laced with the dream team lineup. I dont want to watch great females with bum talent, I want her with the best talent but I can only watch so much Mick and Manuel before I need a changeup. Lansky is providing that changeup and that I am thankful for. Now we just need to work on that Rogue Blacked site where girls with shaved heads, arm sleeves, pudgy bellies, uncontrollable cravings for anal et al are shot with more frequency and preferably in a room in a house that doesnt have a white bed or white couch

Did a trial membership just to see the Ana/Kendra scene and was incredibly impressed. Greg definitely still has the touch. However, it's easy to tell by the reaction that it's not something the site's going to be able to get away with again. I think the due to the fact that the audiences across all three of the sites have been conditioned into expecting b/g at every turn now, that the only way he's going to be able to do g/g is on a dedicated website. Anything else is just going to make it seem like the audience isn't there for it when in reality the audience already there has been trained to not accept anything else besides what they've been given.

While it's possible that it was in fact Greg Lansky's idea for her to wear a shirt in the scene, I'd also like to mention that she has worn a shirt in a lot of her previous scenes as well for other companies.

And this is exactly why I detest Lansky and his sites. So what if they have tats? So what is they have curves? So what if they are a bit thick?
He's forcing a stereotype onto the girls. Yes, he is. The message when you cover up or conceal is very clear "We don't think you are good enough on your own, but if we do this then you will be acceptable".
Wrong Greg.

^ Yes, but sadly he won't change because anyone complains because all he has to do is look at awards and money and shrug. I don't fault him for his errors. We all make them, but damn at least he's shooting more and more of what people were asking for before. And again sadly people are STILL complaining about it.

IMHO, Blacked has a .250 batting average so far this year. Off to a slow start, specifically, the last three scenes didn't move me. Attractive girls and fresh faces, yes, but as we've seen before, that can yield lukewarm performances from inexperienced talent. No real breakout performances and not much FIRE, so far.

^Cool, that's your opinion. But mine is that three lukewarm scenes in a row is disappointing -- and all for similar reasons. Simple as that. I trust that things'll get better, because generally, Blacked is great product.

My thoughts on 2017 content:
Unusual Sexy Request:
I was disappointed that in her 5th video, we still haven't seen Megan Rain in lingerie. Megan is such a great performer and looks amazing, but she has the same look in all of the scenes. The DP was short too. 5/10
Kendra's Obsession part 3:
Lesbian scene was pretty good, it made up for how terrible part 2 of the showcase was. KS is awesome, but Jillian made her look like an amateur. Ana foxx is beautiful. 10/10
My parents were gone and I got what I wanted:
Roxy has the perfect look for the site. Great casting.I am very happy to see Flash again too. Even though his rating isn't that high his scenes are rated really highly. He had like 6 or 7 9+ rated scenes in a row at one point.
Unfortunately, this scene will have to be compared to Rich Arab girl loves black cock. In both, Flash plays a rich girls driver. The setup for Jade's scene was so much better. The high level "story" was the same, but the execution was so much better in Jade's scene. You got to hear her act all weak and scared "I'm so scared of spiders", then seduce Flash by opening her legs to reveal she was shaved and ready. In the Roxy scene, she just delivers the "I just want you to fuck me" line, which was setup way less. That line could have been better. Then, the sex was in basically two positions and not dominant at all. This scene could have been really, really good if it focused more on how great Roxy looks and put her in lingerie for a rough fucking. And no missionary? They really need a do over with Roxy, because she def has the potential to be in a 9+ rated scene. 3/10
It started off as an innocent crush:
Joss has some real classic scenes on blacked( Lena Paul, Jynx Maze), this isn't one of them for me. All I can say is that this scene wasn't for me, and I rated it a one star on the site. 0/10 for me.

Looks like they've cut out the prone bone segment out of the recent scene again. Why do they keep doing this? Do they like to tease that position in the promotional images but then when the scene comes out they cut it out? Wtf lol XD

About "Kendra's Obsession part 2" i agree with you, i liked the scene (i love B/G/G) and obviously Jillian made Kendra look like an amateur..
Jillian has more than 200 scenes in her background, Kendra 2 or 3 before that threesome , i repeat 2 or 3
However This night Kendra Sunderland won best B/G 2016 scene (with Mick Blue for Vixen) so it clear that there is much much more than 2 Amazing boobs and a great look in her, she has a huge potential, simply need to perform to improve
Better if with great male talent, can't be a coincidence that his best scene is that with best performer she worked with

About "Kendra's Obsession part 3" in my opinion a fact it became clear: Balcked members don't like G/G scenes
I'll explain, the scene is very good, great chemistry, great position, good camera work, 2 Amazing perfomer, so how is it possible only a 7 rating???
The answer is that members want B/G, or at least that's the only explanation I can give me

Much to the chagrin - I imagine - of critics like FlacFan, Greg Lansky was awarded "Director of the Year" for the second straight year at last night's AVN Awards.
Congratulations, again, to Mr. Lansky!
