Nooooo! The whole point about It Takes A Nation is that it used all those same samples, but the Bomb Squad made it sound like a much tougher, and tighter record than anything before, or arguably since, in the genre. Its also still the pinnacle of Chuck's lyricism for me.
Fear of a Black Planet is also great, but not the ground-breaking album that It Takes a Nation was.
