You've probably exceeded the polyphony of the MPC. The MPC 2000 can play up to 32 samples at the same time. When you exceed this limit it will "steal" voices causing it to cutoff samples.

You could also have some pads assigned to mute other pads. It's in the manual.

Sometimes you'll have to set the decay/envelope shorter as so not to let the sample run too long into the next sample.

I usually don't let my long sample run into another long sample anymore than like 7 ticks. After that I've noticed the second long sample (on the same track) will not play at all.

Try that, along with what Kraster said. One of them should work, I'm guessing.
