Vanessa Blue: The Outtakes

January 29, 2008 | Tags: Hip Hop, Hip Hop, Porn, DX, Vanessa Blue, reader

Whether you love or hate this porno shit-and many of you seem to have some feeling about it one way or the other, the good thing is that the series of interviews we've been running is getting you all talking. Aside from the random "these bitches are nasty" comments, it's some really good dialog going on over on this small part of the Internets (shout out to Meka Soul), and that benefits us all at the end of the day. As a journalist, it's not my job to approve or condemn the things or subjects I write about (minus an editorial or a blog). At the end of the day, my job is to inform you-the reader. Whether its Kwame Kilpatrick phone boning, the upcoming UFC fight this weekend, or Lil Wayne talking crazy (again), we report, you decide (no Fox News). What I will do-directly or indirectly-is challenge you all and hope that in turn you continue to challenge me (and the rest of the staff here). So when I engage you-the reader, it's not in an attempt to piss you off, but to challenge the way you think, challenge the way you view this rap shit (or in this case, this porno shit). Love it or hate it, agree or disagree, keep reading, keep responding and keep learning. In this short set of questions—some of which were submitted by you, the reader—Vanessa touches on faking “it” (and you know what “it” is), her favorite performers to work with and what’s off limits on and off camera.

Hip Hop DX: Do you ever fake it?

Vanessa Blue: What woman doesn’t? If she tells you she doesn’t, she’s a fuckin lie, ok?

DX: Does it hurt sometimes?

VB: Yeah of course. Anal does hurt if a guy doesn’t know what he’s doing or doesn’t care about you. Or the director doesn’t care and he wants something psychotic. Yeah, it does hurt.

DX: Any acts that are off limits?

VB: Multiples. I did a [double penetration], it was really fun, but I’m good on it. I don’t think I want to do that again. I don’t want to do anything that I wouldn’t do in my bed room and I don’t want to do anything that I wouldn’t do in front of a husband. Take that any way you want to

DX: [Laughs] Who are your favorites to work with?

VB: Any European guy that doesn’t speak English.

DX: How come?

VB: Cause they don’t speak English

DX: So it’s just all scene?

VB: Having interacted and this is going to be very foul, having interacted with a lot of male talent on the set… I don’t know if guys go through this, but, have you ever talked to somebody and you’re like “oh my God, they look really good” and then you start talking to them and you’re like, “shut the fuck up, I hate you!” I mean immediately, it’s like distaste in your mouth. Not all the guys are like that, but there’s enough male talent like that. And now I have suck your dick.

My favorites are the guys who don’t speak English. We don’t have to talk about anything, I don’t know how fucked up you are, I don’t want to hear about what you did last night. I don’t want to know about the partying, you don’t have to deal with any of that if they don’t speak.

I would love to say [Mr. Marcus], but I haven’t worked with Marcus. I think if I had, he would definitely be my favorite.

DX: Do you ever get tired of having sex?

VB: Do I ever get tired personally? Yes. It’s a double sided thing because there are days where I will practically slam my head into the wall because I want it, and then there are days when I don’t want to be touched at all. I think that’s some of the damage that happens when you do scenes. You have to come in and be prepared for sex whether you want it or not. Whether you’re into that guy, whether you hate the set, whether it’s hot or cold. You've gotta be ready for action. In porn of course, you get tired. But, not if you’re new. If you’ve been here for a while you’re working with the same people, doing shit you don’t want to do.

DX: It gets old, like any other job I guess…

VB: The beauty is, no matter how old it gets you can always close your eyes and be somewhere else. I mean as a woman, the guys can’t but I can close my eyes and be anywhere. Which is why I really wanted to make the transformation to directing, so I can put girls and guys together that I know will want to fuck each other and I’m excited to watch them screw. I’m telling them that when they hit the door, like “holy shit, I was fantasizing about y’all doing this shit, she’s gon’ suck your dick!” and I’m more excited than they are and then it’s a good scene. I personally check out my own product to make sure it passes the test. I love making the transition because I can put two people together that I wouldn’t have been able to work with [before].

Random Thoughts on Porn

January 28, 2008 | Tags: Hip Hop, Porn, DX, Vanessa Blue, Luke

The few people who know me that browse this site know that there’s one thing I love almost as much as music: PORN

That’s right. The kid has a serious hang up on all things sex. Movies, pictures, books, etc. You name it; I’ve got it or seen it. There’s something intriguing about the sexual hang ups people have, why people like what they like and so on. One of these days, I’ll devote some serious time to the study of sex (hopefully on some university’s dime), but for now, I’ll stick with interviewing porn stars.

Since my Vanessa Blue interview ran prior to porn week (and thus, making me feel a little left out of the loop), I decided to do this drop for all the folks who got their protest on last week.

No connection to Hip Hop and porn? Nonsense!

Can anybody say Luke?

Hip Hop and porn fit together like a hand and glove, peanut butter and jelly, kool-aid and sugar, and all other things that go together. Videos are peddling more flesh than Cinemax in the 90’s, XXL (back when it was really dope) was dropping (sanitized) sex issues and 2Pac was running around with porn stars in the X rated version of How Do You Want It.

So here we are, the bad guys are doing a whole week dedicated to America’s dirty little secret: sex, sex and more sex! Love it or hate, revere or revile it, porn is here to stay. While I haven’t read any of the pieces that will follow in the coming days, I do know the reputation of our HNIC, Andreas Hale, and the quality of the writing you all have come to know from this site. Regardless of how you feel about porn (and I KNOW I’m not the only one that watches—and was watching before they reached the age of majority), read with an open mind and draw your own conclusions from there.

When all is said and done, I’ll bet any reader on this site that you won’t be able to find better coverage of porn on a Hip Hop site—EVER. We’re stepping the game up because, well…the world is bigger than this rap shit and covering Hip Hop news all the time is—for lack of a better word—boring. Expand your minds, it won’t hurt… I promise.

Nonetheless, I could write a book about each of the critiques I saw in the My Blue Heaven comments section.

Here are three indisputable facts:

Porn and Hip Hop ARE connected

Positivity doesn’t sell

More of you than not indulge in fantasies of the flesh. From the strip club, to the night club, y’all love this porno shit and nobody’s bringing you the real like the men and women of DX. Rest assure, there will be plenty more interviews with smut peddlers in the future, so feel free to shoot your boy some names and I’ll do my best to make it happen.

As for everybody else who keeps begging DX to cease and desist with the sex: Let me find out Hip Hop’s gotten conservative. With all the misogyny that goes on in these forms, the last thing I expected to find in my comments section were folks who sound like they came straight out of the GOP convention. Sit back, relax and enjoy the week of festivities. I’ll be back to drop some extras from my Vanessa Blue interview later on.

Peace and wet dreams,
