Trent Reznor is confirmed to have used the Akai MPC 2000, as detailed in the Fragility Tour program, which lists the equipment employed during the recording of "The Fragile." This information is sourced from nin.wiki.

At 0:07, Kanye West is seen using a MPC 2000. Notice how at 0:09 it says "2000," this confirms it is a 2000 and not a 2000 XL.

According to this article, Damon uses this in his recording studio.

In the Coors Light airplane commercial from 2002, Dr. Dre is shown using the Akai MPC 2000 for beatmaking. The commercial, uploaded by YouTube user biglukemoe, visually confirms Dr. Dre's use of this equipment.

Quote direct from article:

"There was an MPC 2000 [drum machine] in his basement. He religiously used the MPC 3000. Well, ?uestlove broke a disc inside the 2000. Dilla said, "If you can get it out, you can take it to crib and keep it." I got it out, made three tracks that weekend, left them there to see what he would say. He called me like, "Goddamn, dog! You made that shit!?" For him to say that meant a lot."

The xx shared this image on their instagram, presumably from the making of the video for their single "I Dare You". This image shows Jamie with an MPC 2000 on his left side, next to a Roland TR-808.

It's located in the far left of the photo, next to the opened 'Ecko Shoe Box' and 'sandwiched' between some other gear that's unfortunately unidentifiable.

"We had that sequencer by the, um, MPC60 at first. That's how I got into all my Akai machines... (...) Then we graduated, of course, to the 3000 and the 2000, the 2000XL..."

"My rack and MPC2000 take the clock from Rick's MPC2000, whilst my MPC2000 goes through this little 8-channel Mackie, so I can turn off or boost things. I select my source via the rack at the top left, which is made by Funktion One. It's really just a channel selector, and the red button in the middle is a mute."

Used on The Private Press and Unkle's Psyence Fiction, as mentioned in this October 2017 Sound on Sound interview.

Davis’ trusty old MPC60, though, is sadly long gone from his setup. Over successive DJ Shadow albums, however, he has progressed through variations on it: upgrading to an MPC2000 for his production of Unkle’s 1998 album Psyence Fiction, then MIDI’ing two of them together for the second DJ Shadow album The Private Press, released in 2002.

“I basically had nearly unlimited sample power and chop power,” he says. “But after The Private Press, I felt like it was important to switch things up. I had purchased Pro Tools so I was fully up and running on that. There’s probably two or three songs on [2006’s] The Outsider where the initial ideas or sketches were done on an MPC. It’s been I’d say 13, 14 years since I used one.

“I will say though that in I think about 2008, I got whatever was new at that time [the MPC5000], thinking, ‘Oh I kinda miss it, let me see what the new version’s like.’ But I just couldn’t go back. It seemed a bit silly to me, knowing what was possible within stuff like Maschine. Once you go into the software synth world, it’s really hard to legitimise going back into the box.”

On Genius.com, Eminem talks a bit about the production of his track Square Dance. He explains, "I like going on stage to this beat. I don’t even know if people care that much about me producing things. It’s fun for me to make a beat, but it doesn’t give me the same feeling or gratification as rapping. I’m not really tech savvy. I still use an MPC 2000. That’s probably a cardinal sin now in hip hop. Everyone’s onto other things. I just use that because I don’t have time to learn something else. I don’t have the patience."
