The phrase 'ain't nothing' is incorrect grammar. First, 'ain't' is not a word. Second, the contraction includes 'not' so it creates a double negative, meaning, 'not nothing'. Ex: It was not (wasn't) nothing. That example makes little sense!

Better grammar would be to switch the sentence to positive phrasing, e.g. to 'something' rather than 'nothing'.

Example:

His answer was really something! He was clear, concise, and intelligent.

Better yet, leave out 'nothing' or 'something' and simply state what you mean! Example:

His answer was clear, concise, and intelligent.
