BS 2000 (also known as Beat Science 2000) was an American rock and hip hop group formed by Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz (member of Beastie Boys) and Amery "AWOL" Smith (drummer for Suicidal Tendencies and touring drummer for Beastie Boys) featuring Janay North. Their music features short instrumentals fusing hip-hop and electronic effects. Music on this album was inspired by French obscure band X-Ray pop.

In 1997, BS 2000 released their vinyl-only self-titled debut. BS 2000 later released a limited-edition vinyl/CD, "Buddy", in 2000 and Simply Mortified on vinyl and CD in 2001.

A remix of their song "The Scrappy" (remixed by the Latch Brothers) was featured in the Xbox video game, Jet Set Radio Future.
