I don't see why that's important. I've seen the middle and the world is pretty amazing.
Or he is just depressive and his outlook says more about that than his station in life.

Possibly, but I'd rather not dismiss peoples' perspectives on the basis of unfounded assumptions about their mental health.
He's talked about dealing with depression extensively. E.g. http://people.com/tv/donald-glover-i-didnt-want-to-lie-about...

Actually he deliberately avoids calling it depression, granted what he describes sounds a lot like depression.
>"Glover, 30, says he has been feeling down of late – though he shies away from describing his current state as depressed. 'If I’m depressed, everybody’s depressed,' he says. 'I don’t think those feelings are that different from what everybody’s feeling. Most people just don’t tell everybody.'"
In any case, I have a hard time with the idea that we should dismiss somebody's critique of the world because they're upset about the world.
If anything shouldn't that make us pay more attention to his outlook? The "I've seen the top and the world still sucks" point of view is pretty compelling to me.
